Does any of that mitigate the Pin 1 problem that K9YC keeps pointing out?  At first glance it doesn't appear to me that it would. Dave   AB7E On 6/18/2021 7:33 PM, Wayne Burdick wrote: John, If the K4 is *off*, then there's no active circuitry involved. However, the headphone

Wayne I seriously doubt this is an RF issue. TV is all digital and has no discrete audio carrier. TV RF interference would sound like white noise. This sounds more like an audio ground loop of some sort. > On June 18, 2021 10:33 PM Wayne Burdick wrote: > > > John, > > If the K4 is

John, If the K4 is *off*, then there's no active circuitry involved. However, the headphone plug-insertion detect circuit may involve an IC downstream that could include a schottky diode junction -- a potential way a very strong signal could be rectified right at the radio end of the cable.

For years I used a Radiosport headset with my K3. Worked like a champ. Since I received my K4 I noticed annoying RFI-induced feedback on the Radiosport when operating SSB on the K4. Monitor is set to 0. No trouble on the internal speaker. I’m gonna try ferrites next. Surprised to see this
