Hi All,
I've had my new K3 up and running for about a week after replacing the DSP
board during assembly due to the 5vdc rail being shorted to ground. The
S-meter shows about S-2/3 noise and there is about an equal level of noise from
the speaker. I have an IC-756ProIII sitting beside it and it shows S-0 with
minimum noise from the speaker. Of course, I'm using the same mode and have
set the filters in both to the same width. I have played with the preamp and
attenuator in both and the K3 always shows a higher noise level with
accompanying S-meter reading.
My K2 is extremely quiet and does just great on the many portable trips I take.
I may well be missing something on the K3 in all the myriad menu settings of
the K3 but don't have a clue at this point as to how to proceed. I sure don't
want to think this $2000 radio has such a noise problem and I'm going to have
to live it. Does anyone have any information that may help? I would be most
appreciative.
Thank you, have a good day and 73.
Jim, W0EM
