Hi all Problem solved. I was driving the sound card too hard. It's having a new radio that made me think that it had to be the radio's fault. As it turned out it was something simple that I would have spotted and fixed with my old radio. Thanks again Bill -- View this message in context:

Doug Thanks for the suggestion. I disconnected my Mike and it makes no difference. Thanks Bill -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/PSK-Whurm-Noise-tp4804024p4804985.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. __

Hi Joe The radio is the K/100 version. It's not a rubbing noise. I've tested the fans. The sound's a bit like one of those older rigs with an internal ATU tuning up. Not the prtch noise but more the whirring noises. Bill -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/PSK-Whurm-Noise-t

Mike Winwarbler is part of the DXLabs integrated logging software suite. It takes care of my logging and DXCC record. It's not a very impressive record but none the less important to me. The mode I'm using for PSK is"DATA A" and for RTTY is "AFSK A". I am using the internal speaker. Thanks Bi

Hi Bill, You didn't say whether your K3 has the 100W option (KPA3), but if it does, are you sure it's not the fans? Maybe kicking up to a higher speed than they did previously? You can turn the fans on manually to see what they sound like at all 4 speeds with the CONFIG:KPA3 item in the m

Bill, any particular reason why you're using WinWarbler? The K3 is perfectly capable of doing PSK and RTTY without any interface other than a sound card in the computer. I'd take that out of the equation for a test. What mode is the K3 in? Are your computer speakers close enough to the K3 that

Julian The only Scottish term that I can think of comes to whurm is whauruma. This term used to express confusion on waking after a heavy session on the amber liquid :-) The noise is not PSK it is on top of the PSK sound. It sounds as if the rig is protesting at something. I know that I am bei

I'm not sure what you mean by a "whurm noise". I presume it's some Scottish term. :) If you have the audio monitor enabled then the K3 will play the digital audio from the computer sound card through its speaker. Depending on the pitch selected with the waterfall I suppose it might sound like "wh

Hi I'm a new owner of a K3 and I'm still in the "setting up" process. Yesterday I managed to have a PSK QSO via Winwarbler which is part of the DXLabs logging software suite. Today I updated the firmware using the K3 Utiltiy. Following this I tried another PSK QSO. This time when transmitting my
