Are you saying that’s what’s causing the ferrite core on the USB cable to heat up?

With your antenna that close, are you sure you're not exceeding human body RF exposure requirements? 73 Frank W3LPL From: ae...@carolinaheli.com To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Sent: Sunday, April 19, 2020 12:46:55 AM Subject: [Elecraft] USB Noise core gets hot when operating FT*? Today I was working a digital mode (FT8) and lost connection to the radio. I cycled power with no success. On reseating the USB connection at the computer I felt the ferrite core was HOT. The cable didn't feel hot at all. I'm using a 20m hamstick in the office as my antenna. I shut everything down to cool off. Afterwards everything seems to be working correctly. Any ideas?
