I'll ask a similar question... I use a horizontal 80m loop fed with ladderline.  I have a 1:1 choke at the ladderline to coax connection with 10 feet to the tuner.  My noise is a lot less than it was long ago...  The noise may be gone, or the balun helps, or it was a different antenna. 

Re: [Elecraft] K4 Experience

2021-07-05 Thread Robert G Strickland via Elecraft
Does the choke cause a significant sag in the antenna? For 40m maybe not; my 80m dipole with a choke looks like a V antenna, and I'm reluctant to increase the tension in the support ropes to the point where the the antenna starts to flatten out. ...robert On 6 Jul 2021 02:30, Jim Brown wrote:

Wayne I seriously doubt this is an RF issue. TV is all digital and has no discrete audio carrier. TV RF interference would sound like white noise. This sounds more like an audio ground loop of some sort. > On June 18, 2021 10:33 PM Wayne Burdick wrote: > > > John, > > If the K4 is

John, If the K4 is *off*, then there's no active circuitry involved. However, the headphone plug-insertion detect circuit may involve an IC downstream that could include a schottky diode junction -- a potential way a very strong signal could be rectified right at the radio end of the cable.
