Larry,

Is this antenna different from other bands or has it band specific components?

It sounds like a set of dirty relay contacts or a bad joint. I've had this on a few antenna switches. The xmit voltage is enough to punch through but microvolts aren't.

I have K3 SN# 52XX and the receive seems to come and go on 30 mts - that's 
where I notice it the most but it happens on other bands too.


My AGC settings are:

AGC DLY - NORM
      AGC HLD - 0
      AGC PLS - NORM
      AGC SLP - 4
      AGC THR - 12
      AGC F - 120
      AGC S - 20

For example, the S-meter will be reading an S3 noise level and I can see it on 
the P3.  Suddenly, the noise levels drops to zero and the P3 follows.  If I'm 
listening to a CW signal, that signal drops too.  If I hit the keyer and send a 
dit, the receive comes back.  I've noticed this on a few of the other bands too.

I am running the latest firmware and software but I've noticed it on the 
previous versions too.


Ideas???

Thanks.

Larry, KN8N
