I live about 1 mile from a strong FM broadcast station tower that transmits on 97.1Mhz. I have talked to the station engineer and they are in process of running some tests and of course don't think it is their problem. The RFI shows up from about 21.380 to 21.430 (an FM signal) with an antenna and with no antenna connected to the radio. In fact the RFI is present to a lower level with no connections to a K3 and only battery powered. It is almost eliminated with snap on cores on the battery power cord but seems to come in also when other connections are made to the radio (is stronger also). It happens on 3 different K3s. It is also present more or less on these frequencies 6.83, 9.56, 12.85, 21.422, 24.285 and sometimes loudest on 26.890. It is also strong at the transmitter site.
The RFI is not present on Icom radios. Does anyone else live near a station tower that transmits on 97.1 that does or does not experience this.
