[Elecraft] Modulation interference KPA100

Harry,

Try a test - move the K2 4 to 5 feet away from anything that could possibly
contain a transformer and see if the 'modulation' goes away.  If that
eliminates the modulation, you can either rearrange the shack so the
transformer fields are not close to the K2 or you can add the VCOSHLDKT
available from Elecraft.
