Did the problem go away when you replaced it with another of that type
- i.e, was it a defective bulb? Or do all bulbs of this type give you
this problem? I have several of them here and haven't noticed any
problem, but I might have missed something.
I have one that's right over the rig...and as far as I can tell, it
isn't making noise....I unscrewed it and there was no difference in
the QRN.
Thom and the group,
I have had a terrible noise on 40m for quite a while and I thought (big
mistake) it was really band noise.
Last Thursday evening just before the Fox hunt, I decided to really
determine if it was band noise or "in the house" noise.
The CFL's, computer, and computer monitor were fine. The last thing I
powered off was the brick power supply for an external IDE hard drive
that I use for backups. The +20 noise dropped to nothing. Plugging it
back in produced the +20 noise again. My K2 with the KDSP2 sounds
better now than it has sounded in a long while.
I never realized just how noisy those small devices are. Hope this
helps someone else....
Regards & 73
