Hello group I My K1-4 with 17m worked great on FD with > 95% call to contact. The only annoying thing is a crackling static that starts slowly but crescendos quickly, is strong in strength, and is quieted by transmitting or by pushing the menu button or selection of the next NB level including off. Is distinguished easily from atmospheric qrn. In normal active operation the t-r mutes the noise and more than slightly desensitizes the receiver and cuts the static back until it cycles up again.
Any thoughts are appreciated Robin -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K1-with-all-options-has-rising-crackling-static-cleared-by-transmitting-tp7576298.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ 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
