This is the signature of a switching power supply. They are everywhere,
and most of them are noise RF noise generators.
Hi John,
thanks for clarification. But i think he meant the adjustment of levels
(KDVR3) for "on the air" playback.
These levels are NOT adjustable, for the monitoring in the headphones or
speakers you are right.

My P3 started displaying persistent clumps of noise across each band. These
clumps reoccurred at about every 72KH over most bands. I thought I had a rig
problem so I emailed Gary at Elecraft. Based on my description of the
problem he concluded the noise was not coming from the K3 or the P3. He

Steve,
Most likely you will not see a difference (unless you spent like 10-30
seconds heating it up with your soldering iron). I don't know which Elecraft
kit you are talking about, but consider this.
Grounding crystals at the side will give you better decoupling under SOME
circumstances (like pr
It all depends upon how much you change the sound of the audio using the Eq
and Compression. If you don't make any obvious changes, your Monitor and
On-Air audio from the KDVR3 will sound the same. But, if you are using heavy
compression or significant equalization, you'll hear the impact of those
Fine business, Barry.
One thing I forgot to mention in my earlier comments on the KX1 construction
was with regard to the battery holder installation described on pp. 55-57
of the KX1 manual.
I used small pieces of duct tape to hold the wires in place on the
bottom side

I got a little ahead of myself while grounding crystals X1, 3 and 5. I
grounded to the sides. Is this a problem. Should I add wire to take the

Hi Michael:
Thanks for helping clarify some of the confusion. Unfortunately, you
have perhaps (inadvertently) added some of your own.

Gene,
I cannot make any recommendation, but the 500k 1/4 watt resistor would
seem a bit high to me. I would go no higher than 100k (50k would be a
good choice IMHO) and would use a 1/2 watt resistor instead.
Do not use a choke inside the K2 - there used to be one at the SO-239
jack, but it

Hi,
my second K2/10 #7130 now qrv, again great fun to build...
A question; I would like to modify a Bird slug 100B to a 20 watt 2-30
Mhz slug.
I think the main problem is to get the right coil inductance. The 100B
slug is already open.
Can anyone give me some help?

mixing except in the brain has no parallel for working signals in the

Hi Ron,
Agreed! Let's face it...if you have a K2 the only way to do better is to get a
K3. And if you have a K3...well, you can't hope to do better (until the K4
