Mikael,

I would suggest you try 2 things - first connect a dummy load instead of the open antenna connector. Second, leaving the dummy load in place, power the receiver from a battery to see if the higher noise is being caused by your power supply.

If neither of those things make a difference, contact supp...@elecraft.com.

Hi,

I am having an issue which confuses me quite a bit. When I unplug my antennas 
and listen to 80m for example I have very low noise and the S-meter does not 
light up a single bar. When I go to 160m and do the same thing I have S3-S4 and 
I can hear a much higher noise level. It is the same behavior regardless if I 
use the RX antenna or the ANT1 jack (none with any antenna). I have the same 
settings on both bands.
