[Elecraft] P3 clicking sound

2010-09-06 Thread Dave Perry N4QS
To all, Received my P3 last week and love it. Just one small issue. There is a very soft but noticeable clicking sound when I am using the P3/K3 on the low bands -- 80 and 160M. The click repeats itself about every 7 or 8 seconds. Sounds like a relay within the P3. I only hear it on those

It's probably the P3's preamp function switching on and off. The preamp on/off will follow the signal level, so if you see static crashes (elevated noise floor), it is possible the preamp will kick out when they happen. matt W6NIA K3 #24 On Mon, 06 Sep 2010 11:36:20 -0500, you wrote: To all,
