[Elecraft] Kx3, wsjtx, broadband noise

2020-02-02 Thread Tox
Hoping someone has a suggestion for how I can work around some local QRM. I have a kx3 with filters installed I have wsjtx running. I've recently added a px3 to see if it would help provide insight. I find intermittent broadband noise that desenses my receiver on multiple bands. 1) It appears to

Well, it sounds like it is something outside your QTH. Unless you have some solar charge controllers for off grid power, or some other possible noise maker. Maybe go mobile in the neighborhood when the noise seems to be on for a while. If you have a directional antenna you might be able to get a ve

Scott, It would appear as though you are receiving noise from somewhere. Your steps have eliminated your house, but your neighbors may be the source. I don't have an easy answer, but I don't think it is in your KX3. To test, does it occur if you connect a dummy load? If not, it is coming

It is much like what I recall when the hydroponics shop was still in business a couple blocks away. But in that case the source was never on less than 15 min at a shot. Part of what is maddening about current is that duration is completely random, seeing blips during ft8 turnarounds, followed by b

Hm. And as soon as I send that I check, and 15/30m has 15dB of odd surging over a 1-2Hz cycle. Maybe it really it taking everything out On Sun, Feb 2, 2020, 9:40 PM Tox wrote: > It is much like what I recall when the hydroponics shop was still in > business a couple blocks away. But in that case

Yeah, all bands. Then suddenly clears, signals sprout all over the waterfall and are promptly silenced once more. On Sun, Feb 2, 2020, 9:44 PM Tox wrote: > Hm. And as soon as I send that I check, and 15/30m has 15dB of odd surging > over a 1-2Hz cycle. Maybe it really it taking everything out >

In any case, doesn't sound like there's any particular Elecraft filtering wizardry I can engage. Given that they've repeatedly slipped K4 dates, now wondering if I should cancel my K4D. Thanks for the feedback, everyone. Scott AD6YT On Sun, Feb 2, 2020, 9:50 PM Tox wrote: > Yeah, all bands.

A possibility is an ionospheric sounder ... In the past there were many hundreds of 'em operated by "everyone". Used to be plagued by one a few miles north of Denver. Another was located behind the NBS in Boulder. Give Google a peek 73 K0PP On Sun, Feb 2, 2020, 15:14 Tox wrote: > Hopi
