Recently I've been hearing a strange noise. I've installed the latest FW

It's only audible from an external speaker and cannot be heard through the

The noise is a random, pulsating tone of about 360Hz and sounds a bit like

Phil. Questions:
1. Why would one use a balun when both the antenna and coax are unbalanced?
Wouldn't a unun be appropriate?
2. What are the swrs at the balun? The swr at the K3 doesn't tell us much
since the length of the coax affects it greatly.

Normally a computer mic. has a condenser element and requires DC bias via
the mic. jack. Don't use a mono adapter. Set your menu for rPH bias. The
'mono' label is tricky. I think it means that the mic. audio is mono but not
the jack.

breaks the mic connection. If you have a computer mic hand, plug it into the
rear panel, change the menu and see if that works. That would be rP.L

BAND button, the K3 should go back to ham bands only and not screw up the
band order. KM5Q posted a neat way to program the keypad for band
Well statedSoLet's go back to the rotary bandswitch. It was faster
to change bands than bumping this button half dozen times.

the bandswitching. Imagine what happens to all those relays and motors when
