[Elecraft] K2 Problem ???

[Don Wilhelm]

Jim,

That 'ticking' noise when in the DSP menu is present on all K2s with the 
KDSP2 option.
I believe it is the sound of the clock updating.  It is not a problem 
and goes away when you exit the DSP menus.  I am surprised that you just 
now noticed it.

73,

I power it with an external battery through an MFJ battery booster.  I had to add the booster because as the battery voltage would drop below about 11.5 volts at the radio I would get reports of transmitted audio distortion.  I now get good audio reports on my transmitted audio.  Since I've added the booster when I set the display function to show the DSP parameters there is a crackling buzzing sound in the received audio.  The other display settings do not cause the noise.  Apparently there is no ill effect other than the annoying noise.  Has anyone experienced this previously?  Any idea as to what is causing the noise and how to get rid of it.
