[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Announcement
Good Evening, Weather has returned to normal: foggy, rainy, and mild. I remember the cold of Wisconsin winters and am not missing it. Hopefully the folks out east will get a reprieve from the icebox soon. Plumbers will be making a lot of money as they repair the numerous broken pipes. The sun may not be blank but it is not very active. With an SFU of 69 propagation won't be very good. As long as I am not skunked the nets will be OK. There is a solar stream due on Monday, maybe that will perk things up a bit. Please join us tomorrow on: 14050 kHz at 2300z Sunday (3 PM PST Sunday) 7045 kHz at 0100z Monday (5 PM PST Sunday) 73, Kevin.

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft KIO3B and WSJT-X
That's a good clue, Bert! So turning off the monitor should kill the noise. Easy to test. Funny you mention it. I'm going to test a prospective new monitor today. I'm trying a smaller one so I can fit 2 on the operating desk. I find lots of them are unusable, either the monitor or it's PS generates noise, or they are susceptible to RF. 73 Josh W6XU Sent from my mobile device > On Jan 6, 2018, at 1:49 PM, Bert Rollen wrote: > > Possibly the same issue I have - I find that the bright-white screen palette > on WSJT-X drives the daylights out of my LCD monitor and it generates much > more RFI than with the subdued colors.

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft KIO3B and WSJT-X
So, you're saying everything is fine with 10 running, and as soon as you open X the S-meter goes up? If you close X with 10 still running does the S-meter go back down? When you disabled CAT control in X, did you close the program and get back to the low noise level, then launch it again seeing the S-meter go back up? If so, with X running did you check in the settings to make sure CAT was still off? When the noise is showing on the S-meter, does unplugging the USB cable make it go away? 73 Josh W6XU Sent from my mobile device > On Jan 6, 2018, at 1:54 PM, Dave S wrote: > > I tried starting 10 first then X and it didn't seem to help. > Yes, the audio config is the same in both programs. > I turned off CAT but once again it didn't help. > > I asked Elecraft tech support about it but they had not heard of another case > and could offer no help. > > > On Saturday, January 6, 2018 12:49 PM, Josh wrote: > > > That's really odd!

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft KIO3B and WSJT-X
I tried starting 10 first then X and it didn't seem to help.Yes, the audio config is the same in both programs.I turned off CAT but once again it didn't help. I asked Elecraft tech support about it but they had not heard of another case and could offer no help. On Saturday, January 6, 2018 12:49 PM, Josh wrote: That's really odd!

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft KIO3B and WSJT-X
That's really odd! It's quiet until the program starts? What happens if you run 10 and X concurrently? Start up 10 first, it's quiet, then start X? Audio config on X is identical to 10? HA!! Try turning off CAT control in WSJT-X. I bet the program is changing something on the rig to make the noise come up. 73, Josh W6XU Sent from my mobile device > On Jan 6, 2018, at 11:35 AM, Dave S via Elecraft > wrote: > > After I installed the KIO3B board in my K3, I found that running WSJT-X > creates 2 or 3 S-units of noise in the rig but WSJT 10 runs quietly.Tried > different computers, different cables, different jacks, and scads of ferrites > on the USB cable.

[Elecraft] Elecraft KIO3B and WSJT-X
After I installed the KIO3B board in my K3, I found that running WSJT-X creates 2 or 3 S-units of noise in the rig but WSJT 10 runs quietly.Tried different computers, different cables, different jacks, and scads of ferrites on the USB cable. Nothing seems to help.Has anyone else run into this problem?
