Hi Joel, This noise is typically not audible except on the highest bands with very little band noise (or no antenna). You have a choice of methods to eliminate it if necessary. All of the following settings are per-band so you only need to try them on affected bands: 1. Set MENU:VFO NR to ON. 2. If necessary, set MENU:RX SHFT to ON. 3. An alternative to (or supplement to) the above is to turn on the regular receive noise reduction by holding the NR switch. 73, Wayne N6KR ______________________________________________________________ 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
