Hello Tom, I find it hard to understand how AM broadcast station in the lower BC band could be your problem. I am thinking since you have the problem on the higher bands, it might be overload from the SW BC bands also on AM where propagation is the cause of the randomness of the interference. I would use your KX3 to tune the adjacent SW bands when you have the interference and see if any of them sound the same. Or better yet use another SW receiver to compare the audio content.
Also, if you insert the ATT does the interference go away?? Once you identify the source you can decide on what remedies are possible. Just some thoughts, Mel, K6KBE --- On Tue, 1/8/13, Tom H Childers <n...@n5ge.com> wrote: From: Tom H Childers <n...@n5ge.com> Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Broadcast band interference To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Date: Tuesday, January 8, 2013, 12:10 PM Check the addresses of your local AM radio broadcasters. You may have one very close to you and not know it. Here's a way to find where and who the broadcaster is. If you have an AM radio in the house compare the signal on the KX3 with those you hear on the AM radio to see if you can identify the station you're hearing. If a station is very close, you may have to use a filter at the shack end of the feedline to notch it out.
