I don't think so, for the following reason:  there are lots of connections to 
the PC in the shack, but disconnecting the serial port connection to the KRC2 
makes it disappear completely.  And it's got to be a super powerful 
signal...remember, what I'm hearing is not a signal from the PC, but rather a 
spurious signal produced in the K2 by a very large out-of-band signal.  I don't 
think the CMOS clock oscillator would be that strong.
