If you have operated 6 meter CW and had a report of a chirp, I'd appreciate hearing about it.
I had several of them and my K3 is back at Elecraft right now for service, but they are not able to reproduce the problem. I know there is a mod for the synthesizer board and that was made without solving the problem. No, it's not my power supply either - a big 50 amp Astron provides 13.77 volts key up and 13.74 volts key down. It's not RF because when I got the report I reduced power (external amp off) down to the point where the station could not copy me and the chirp was still there. The strange thing is I had a local listen to my signal and it was clean. At a later time, two reports (one from eastern MA the other from SC and I'm in central CT) said I had a chirp. In both cases I had been on 6 for a while. Is it frequency dependent? Is it heat dependent? Again, I would appreciate hearing from you if you have had reports of a chirp on 6 meters - what frequency were you on at the time? How long had you been operating (was the rig getting warm?) or any other observation that might help to pinpoint a way of duplicating the problem. Thanks!
