Julie, It does sound like you may have a bad 13 kHz filter installed - that is only a guess. Work with Elecraft support to get it resolved.
The external transverter will not help, I believe it has to do with your FM filtering, and that will not change whether the transverter is internal or external. 73, Don W3FPR On 5/3/2012 10:31 AM, Julie Royster wrote: > Larry K4MWE and I are hearing lots of distortion (clipping probably) on the > K144XV tuned to local repeaters for anyone with strong signals.
