When recording an AM signal on the sdr wave recorder, it plays back through the speakers properly but the transmitted playback sounds like it is off frequency by 11 kc or so. All you hear are the edges of the recorded voice and what sounds like frequencies on one side of it. Anyone else hear

I am seeing about 10 db increase in noise floor over the previous issues. What have I done to cause this to occur. Switching from release 14 and/or 15 where the noise floor on say 20 meters is approx. -130db, to release 16 shows a noise floor of approx. -120 db. At the same time, the wind is
