Steve,

 

I have had the same problem multiple times; I am glad to hear someone else
has the same problem. People I am talking to say to take the clothespin off
of my nose. In the transmit monitor I can hear thin audio. My problem is
that I don't know how to replicate the distorted audio problem. A power off
reset fixes it every time when it shows up. I have been experiencing this
problem over many firmware downloads. I suspect there is a root problem that
is rare that stems back to the original firmware. I have serial number 508
if that helps.

I have engaged Elecraft help [Gary] but I am waiting for the next instance
of the problem. I don't operate SSB very often so it may be a while before
it happens again. For the record Lyle asked that next time it happens to
change frequency or change transmit audio equalization to force a new set up
of transmit audio chain. Since I received these instructions nothing has
happened on my end so I am still waiting.

 

The fact that you are changing bands and the problem stays is an important
input. Please keep reporting this issue and I will too when it happens
again.
