Re: [Elecraft] Microham Microkeyer II, RFI in mike with my K3

Bernhard, It's NOT common mode, it's the simple fact that the audio interface is a mess. The antenna on the roof transmitting high power is doing its job, putting a lot of RF in the shack. If it didn't (based on proxmiity), it would be a lousy antenna. The problem is that the interface

Hi Guy, Fully agree with your statement, but as stated I have chokes in all Coax, rotor and control cables. I am using double shielded USB cables, extra grounding for each device…no idea what else could be don. Regarding the 2 Ohm, there is a recommendation by Microham to check that the USB /

Ed, I did not state 10-12w. I think your KX3 and KXPA100 is working OK. The KXPA100 was designed to be driven to full output with up to 5 watts of drive (it works with the Yaesu FT-817). The drive power specified is 3.5 to 7 watts, and you fall right in that range except for 6 meters. 73,
