[Elecraft] [K3] Noise Clicks...still!

[David Gilbert]

Yes ... I can hear them prominently when using the WIDTH control as 
well.  I tried both AF-HI and AF-LO, as well as AGC-F and AGC-S, with 
the same result.  No AFX, no NB, no NR or anything like that, and it 
happens in both CW and SSB modes as long as there is a tone present in 
the background (CW, PSK, tuner-upper, etc).  It's more pronounced with 
wider bandwidths, of course, since the noise clicks are sharp and have 
lots of high frequency components.

I'm using FW 3.52.

73,
Dave   AB7E
