Hi Brian,
I have never heard anybody complaining about my signal having a ticking noise. But, when I power down the K3/0 mini I hear it, too, and quite loud. It goes away as soon as I disconnect my mic from the mini! No matter if using the front socket or the 3,5 mm socket. As soon as a mic is plugged in and the mini is turned off there's ticking. Must be something in the mini itself (or the mini in conjunction the the RR controller) as I did not have it when I still had the old PCBs inside (before the swap against the new ones with a display readable when tilted).
Can you confirm the ticking goes away in your setup when you un-plug the mic? That might give Elecraft a hint for trouble shooting.

Hi All: The symptom I am describing persists despite changing routers, internet systems, and cities. In a QSO this morning, the other parties reported a ticking sound on my transmitted signal --- faint but noticeable --- and I could also hear it in XMIT Monitor. I was operating my remote gear as a test --- in the same room as the K3, and on the same LAN. I have now set myself up 110 miles away, and the sound persists. I am able to work others, get good signal reports, but I can hear the tick tick tick, about 2 per second. In testing, I find the sound is there even if I power down the gear --- the radio and the control end. It persists if I remove 12VDC from the K3/0 mini. Also if I remove the wifi module from the RemoteRig control box. If I remove power from the RemoteRig, it goes away. With power to the RR, the ticking goes away if I unplug the "TTL" line from the K3/0 mini. Unplugging the other lines makes no difference, though it becomes fainter if I unplug "Aux/Mic." It persists if I remove the ethernet cable connecting the RemoteRig to my router. It persists if I unplug the USB line from the RemoteRig to my PC. This symptom appeared after a good period of time when everything worked. And all functionality is still there --- just this maddening tick tick tick --- like something from Edgar Allan Poe. All ideas gratefully accepted. 73 de Brian W3BW *Brian F.
