Swapping side bands can happen behind your back. I was part of a multi-multi activating Kings County in the California QSO Party. My assignment was 10M SSB. The first contact suggested I would be more successful if I switched from LSB to USB. I have no idea how I swapped the sideband. I guess

Indeed the Noise Blanker NB does have artifacts pertaining to received audio.  And I find a more destructive audio path item is Noise Reduction.  The setting of that feature will greatly affect the receive audio.  See page 6, 11, & 27 in the manual for details on this feature. 73 Bob, K4TAX

Since this is a used radio, to which you may not have history, I suggest you check the installed filters and determine their location and the required off-set frequency.    See page 48 in the manual, "Filter Frequency Offset". More details on Configuration is found on page 48 pertaining to

Make sure you use USB for 20 meters and LSB for 40. SSB sounds awful if you use the “wrong” sideband. Also make sure the PBT has not shifted, it should be normally very close to centered. 14 MHz and higher typically use USB, and lower frequencies typically use LSB. Sorry if this sounds too

A K4 question on HDMI while waiting for my K4D... If I am using a computer monitor, I don't expect audio. I am currently using a 24" TV with two (2) HDMI inputs for my shack PC and I was wondering if the K4 will pass audio over the HDMI connection??  Having audio to a large screen 4K "smart"

Another example of why having USB-C output on the K4 would be extremely beneficial. One USB-C cable to the external screen would supply not only video and power, but could enable touch screen capabilities, allowing the user to control the rig from the much larger screen if desired. I'm not sure

Mike, That problem sounds a bit like the Calibration of the Reference Oscillator is off a bit.  See tha manual and use the Zero-Beating method as instructed. There is a chance it will help, but no harm if it does not. If you did not get the paper manual, download it from Elecraft. 73, Don

Hi Al, I bought it used, so I'm not sure when exactly it started.  All SSB stations are sounding like mistuned ones, no matter how I tune the VFO. Sometimes it's better (less artifacts) when it is a little bit lower, but it sounds unnatural. AM seems to be fine. Of course, the first thing I
