In Knut's plot with the 1 kHz peak, the 2nd harmonic and 3rd harmonic are clearly visible. In the one with the low end, I agree, no 60 Hz, 120 Hz or 180 Hz is seen. I measured my K3S with the radio connected to the computer via the USB port. No 60 Hz, 120 Hz or 180 Hz signal observed.

I suspect if anyone is experiencing "hum" they best look for a ground loop which likely exists as there is a difference in potential between different pieces of equipment.

Hi again,

BTW, some people have been complaining about 60Hz hum in the audio. I zoomed
in one the low end:

There is absolutely no sign of 60, 120 or 180Hz in this spectrum. I have
also listened to the signal with good headphones and hear no trace of hum.
