FWIW: I see that regularly, in short bursts.  Midday, just watching 80 while otherwise occupied, those multiple very narrow carriers come up for anywhere from a few seconds to a minute or two, and then disappear. Oddly, but thankfully, I'm not plagued with SMPS type noise ... well, except when

Robert,     Hum... About every 3 kc... Do they drift? I'd say that the "pull-the-plug" method of troubleshooting might yield interesting results. Maybe a washing machine or dryer or some other appliance. At least, that'd be my uneducated guess! Hope you find it!     kurtt WB9FMC On 4/5/24 1

Elecraft's own list is for support of ALL their products. Some guys wanted a list dedicated to the K3, so started their own. That's the groups.io list. There's another groups.io list dedicated to the K4. Elecraft is NOT doing censorship, it's simply a text only list, because they started it 2

Hi Robert, You've used the term 'receiver noise', but specifically mentioned heterodynes and harmonics as being of concern. All receivers, Elecraft not excluded, have internal spurious signals generated in the VFO and BFO circuits as well as clocks for digital circuits in the radio. The best way

I'd appreciate any info on sites/resources to help with receiver noise mitigation. I'm especially interested in identifying the source of heterodynes and harmonics that appear on some bands but not others. 15m seems to be particularly vulnerable. I'm familiar with W9YC's papers on this topic [v
