[Elecraft] FM Broadcast Station Interference

Tue May 28 17:45:10 2002

Unfortunately I live about 6 miles line of sight from a FM station running 
34kw of rock 'n roll on 99.9 MHz. I receive crud from this station without 
any antenna connected to the K2. Now thats Free Music! Using either a dc 
supply or external battery makes no difference. Interestingly enough, when I 
connect an antenna the interference does not change all that much. I could 
live with the crud but it seems to generally appear in the qrp cw segments 
(of course), especially on 20m as well as 40 and 80m. I have built two K2s 
and both exhibited this problem. Just wondering if there was any additional 
filtering etc I could install to help with this issue? In ALL areas except 
this one I much prefer the K2 to my 756 PRO: the PRO shows no evidence of 
this interference. Any suggestions (besides moving!) would be most welcome.
