[Elecraft] Raspy Receive Audio and Transformers

[Steve & Anne Ray]

Just a note, as I had followed the Elecraft advice and kept my power supply
(Astron 10A) more then 18 inches from the K2 to avoid the magnetic field
affecting the K2.  Well, last night I was on and the received audio was
crackling and raspy, all the CW signals sounded like they were about RST
573.  Needless to say the horrible thought went through my mind on what had
gone wrong with the audio.

Found out the problem relatively quickly, I had moved my old Heath Digital
Clock to within 5 inches of the K2.   I did not think that this would be a
problem as the power supply for the clock only draws 600 mA.  Moving the
clock back to its regular position about a foot away cured the problem.

Just hope this helps someone else.
