[Elecraft] Noisy K3 receiver

[Arie Kleingeld PA3A]

Let me throw in a penny please.

Just for comparison:
FT1kMP : all controls full gain (except AF of course), antenna connected.
Then disconnect antenna and listen: nearly no audio, only the receiver
noise.

K3: do the same. Difference is that when I disconnect the antenna, the noise
coming from the speaker is much louder! So the receiver noise is much
louder?  I thought that that might come from the dsp design. (I think that
that is what Don meant)

I am open for enlightenment.
