The only thing connected was the bird load and the DC power. I think the problem is in the A to D or D to A chip or are they integrated in the DSP chip? I assume that there's a mic amp in front of the A to D. It could cause noise problems. - Jack WA9FVP Sent from my TRS-80 :-) -- View

It's early Sunday morning and looking on my iPad at the K3 schematics something was wrong. It appears that there are missing pages. I downloaded the a new copy and was able to view the DSP schematic pages. There are separate codacs and A to D/ D to A converters. There's also a mic amp. Later

While transmitting, my K3 developed a high level noise. During SSB with the mic level set at 25, there's 30 watts output power. It sounds like digital noise. It stops when the mic level is set to zero. There no microphone connected and I just down loaded the latest firmware but that didn't

Usually this kind of thing is external to the K3, very often mechanical. Often happens when something external is rearranged. Remove *everything* connected to the K3 except the power and a dummy load. Make sure the power voltage is normal. See what you get then. If you still have noise, put an AC
