I've never seen this "situation" written about but I've just come
across a very strange sound on my K3 - S/N-1068. With the dial
on 29.492.6 USB I get a continuous CW sounding signal. It
alternates a dot, then a dash then a space. If it were truly CW is
would be considered poorly sent CW and the speed is about 10-
12 WPM. The lengths of the characters are not exactly the same
each time but it never stops. I discovered it yesterday and
wanted to make sure it was not just a one time thing.
I can switch modes and it remains. Removing the antenna does
not stop it, actually makes it a little stronger with the noise level
dropped. I'm using firmware 3.30 beta. I tried on the SUB
receiver and I hear nothing.
It smacks, a bit, of the beginning of a science fiction TV show.
Any clue as to what I might be hearing?
