[Elecraft] K2: receiving noise without antenna on certain qrgs

[Tom Hammond]

Hi Rolf:

I have noticed a similar thing for the past several years.

I think what I'm receiving as 'noise' really might be either AM or FM 
broadcast though... as it seems to have some small amount of modulation to it.

So far I have not been able to determine the cause OR the solution to the 
problem... but it definitely IS there.
