Thanks for this, Gordon. I failed to search properly and missed that previous thread. Elecraft ought to at least acknowledge and document the issue even if they don't fix it. I did some googling and I now see that this is a well known and widespread problem. It seems to have a well known set of

Alan, How high is the input level to the K3 Line IN? I am wondering if you are driving the transformers in the audio in slightly into saturation. Try lowering the soundcard output and increasing the LINE gain. 73, Don W3FPR On 5/14/2018 3:05 AM, Alan Ibbetson wrote: Don, I'm puzzled you w

Don, I'm puzzled you when you say "If it were a K3 problem, that aliasing would also be happening with other data modes as well. Other soundcard data modes do not have a problem with a TUNE at 1000 Hz" I can reproduce this problem with my K3 with MMVARI on other data modes. I have tried it
