You are NOT grasping the problem or the suggested solution. Please do yourself a favor and go read K9YC's white papers on bonding/grounding, noise reduction, EMI/RFI reduction, etc Just do it... __ Clay Autery, KY5G MONTAC Enterprises (318) 518-1389 On 8/31/2016 2:23

You are concentrating on the "green-wire ground". Instead concentrate on running a heavy wire or braid in parallel with your audio cables - it works. It may be difficult to get a chassis ground on the laptop but look for a jackscrew on one of the D-shell connectors. Worst case, run a wire

This would be hard but I can see how that could happen. The KX3 and the laptop use 2 prong connectors and this still happens, the macbook pro has a grounded power plug but this still happens. The stupid thing is they all share the same power board, so in theory they should all be sharing the same

Thanks to John and also Jim Rhodes, George-AI4VZ, Jeff-K2SDR who all sent the same model number. I called RAM this morning to check on dimensions that the mount accepted; max is 3.5 inches by 1.6 inch depth which will accommodate the KX3 if you do not have an add-on heat sink like I have

Hi, This sounds like a 'hum loop' problem, the scourge of audio enthusiasts. In effect there are two earth connections between the KX3 and PC and it forms a small loop aerial where by it picks up mains interference. You could try running the cables from the KX3 to the PC very close together. It
