[Elecraft] KX 1 VFO noise

   I'm not sure this is the same noise you are hearing...

While the display on my KX1 is lit, I hear a static like noise.  
Reducing the brightness of the display to about half cuts
out all the noise.  My guess is I am hearing the digital signal that 
strobes the multiplexed LED display.  By reducing the
brightness the noise is too low to be a problem.
