[Elecraft] QSK THUMPS?

[The Smiths]

You'll find that the louder the noise floor the worse the thumping. Again, reducing your RF gain, Turning on your NB and NR will help the thumping go away.

It's possible that when you started hearing the problem the noise floor had risen up some, and then when it went away it had reduced again..
