[Elecraft] K3 - relay noise

[David Ferrington, M0XDF]

One thing I've noticed is the relay noise (physical, not RF) when switching
between bands. This appears to depend if I'm jumping about (noisier) or
moving up or down through them consecutively (quieter).

Only having used an FT-857 a lot in the past, where I don't notice it, I'm
noticing it on the K3.

I'm not complaining, I just need to get used to it.

This is also partially due to the way I use the rig during my working day.
I'm very fortunate in that I work from home and the shack is the office (or
is that the other way around :). So I leave the rig on, and running
MacLoggerDX, have it set to auto-tune the rig as DX spots come up. Sometimes
I hear a spot that I might be able to work etc. So, the K3 sits there,
clicking away and its something I hadn't noticed with the FT-857.

Wondering if this is common on K2s as well and if others have noticed this
in the K3?

those round shining things that he could make no use of?" "Why," said the
jackdaw, "my master has a whole chestfull, and makes no more use of them
that I do." -Jonathan Swift, satirist (1667-1745)
