I had TVI/internet lockups running a K3 into 80 & 160m wire antennas with U-verse. AT swapped out the modems numerous times, had three different models but no joy. Had their 'top techs' on the problem. At the time, the 'net was filled with U-verse TVI issues. Switched to cable and no

Hi Mike, I can't think of a mechanism whereby ANY ham rig could be the CAUSE of interference to cable TV or DSL. On the other hand, there are MANY mechanisms where CATV and DSL systems, equipment, and wiring ARE the cause of interference to these systems, and there are several mechanisms

Mike I have had problems with several DirecTV boxes with an 80 meter signal - even 3-5 watts. Wrapped the plastic DirecTV box in foil and cured the problem even at 500 watts. The, the DirecTV remote would not work through the foil, of course. RF was getting into the remote control circuit - only

Does reducing the power change anything? Is there an inherent issue in the K3 which might attribute to this symptom? If there is, I'm pretty sure it's never been reported here before.  We have Uverse with 3 TV's via a wireless video bridge and one with a FireStick, and no problems at all on

Yep. Elecraft is great for people who have less knowledge and less understanding as it take real effort to bust the hardware. But the same hardware and software can enable advanced users to get amazing results. The Company support is excellent, if you have to resort to it. But the Forum usually

Hi Mike, Did you replace the uVerse modem recently? I had the same 40M problem after replacing the modem. Google the issue, I believe you'll find similar experiences. John KN5L On 08/25/2017 05:24 PM, Mike Pilgrim wrote: > have TVI in my u-Verse TVs when using the > K3 on 40 meters

Recently replaced my ic-7600 with a new to me K3. I don't recall this issue when using the ic7600, but I now have TVI in my u-Verse TVs when using the K3 on 40 meters, primarily on CW, with diminishing evidence on SSB up to 7.2.50 but okay above that. The symptom is pixilation on the screen,

Seeing the eclipse first-hand was amazing! I encourage everyone to get out there and see it in 2024 if you missed this one. This adventure also reminded me of sunspots, or lack thereof. And where an amplifier can really make a difference. In this regard, our new KPA1500 would make a timely

Hi Fred, Yup, I did the Sunspot counts daily for the AAVSO for 8 years a long time ago. It was nice to see a few groups during the eclipse! The "K" factor is an individual observer's factor that takes account of experience of the observer. See:

I've had good results with an older Behringer unit, the UCA202. I've been using it for 6m WSPR for the past few years without an issue. Not at all huge. Al, K2ZN On August 24, 2017 8:58:26 PM EDT, "Lynn W. Taylor, WB6UUT" wrote: >A key part of my question has
