Hi guys, after getting the missing cables today (thanks Elecraft) I immediately started installing the K144XV into my K3. Everything went together smoothly, no problems, at least hardware-wise.
But, I have hundreds of birdies throughout the whole 2 m band. :-(( It does not matter if antenna connected or not, or connected to a dummyload, so I suspect these are internally and some of them are really annoying. Already checked all the TMP cable connections, everything seems okay. Furthermore when switching down to 28 MHz I now have strange noise when tuning the VFO between 28.002 and 28.007 sounding like synthesizer noise which was definitely not there before. :-(( Any ideas what the reasons are and how to solve the problem(s)? As I do not have the KRX3 module I tried to put the 12 V wire going to the other side of the mainboard to power the K144XV like shown in the manual but as the wire is so long it is laying on the mainboard. Could that be the reason, some pickup there? Thanks in advance! 73, Olli - DH8BQA ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
