Hi Barry, From your description, it sounds like you're hearing VFO tuning noise. The original complaints mentioned 6m, 10m, and 60m, but not 12m so I don't know if it's the same problem or not.
Elecraft published a mod. note describing a combination hardware/ firmware fix for this at http://www.elecraft.com/K3/mods/K3_vfo_noise_mod_Rev_C.pdf In my case, I had the noise at the bottom end of 10m. Initially, the hardware/firmware mod didn't seem to help much, but after going back in and tightening up all the screws and rearranging some TMP cables, the noise went away completely. 73 -- Joe KB8AP On Oct 17, 2009, at 4:18 PM, Barry Simpson wrote: > I uploaded the latest beta release and found that there is a loud > noise > (like electric motor interference) when tuning at the SSB end of > 12m.
