[Elecraft] Polling noise

[Steve L.]

I have an up-to-date K2 w/ the 100W amp.

In the instructions it says you should slow the CAT
update to once every 2-3 seconds to reduce notice of
the slight noise you'll hear when it does a RX/TX on
the CAT port.

Sure enough, I can hear it but only in dummy load or
when the band is *totally* quiet. During a contest?!?!
Fuggetaboutit!

I also hear wideband S3 noise around 14.203-9 MHz with
the antenna disconnected I didn't hear before the 100W
amp was installed, but I haven't investigated this at
all yet. Sometimes birdies go away when you connect an
antenna?

Fly away, birdies.
