[Elecraft] K2 80m Scratch RX audio

[Don Wilhelm]

TJ,

Since it is only present on 80 meters, I suspect it is not really coming 
from the K2 (But I could be proven wrong).
Try listening when the K2 is connected to a dummy load.  If the 
"scratchiness" is still present, blame it on the K2 (and we can help 
track it down).  But if it is only present when the antenna is 
connected, you will have to figure out which of your neighbors (or your 
own household) is creating the RF interference.

> Hey guys, I'm having a problem with my K2 and scratchy RX on receive audio.  The problem exists with or without headphones and at any volume.  I tried turning off AGC and it still was there and its on all strengths of signals (I have limited access to anything stronger than S3 or so due to antenna situation)  I am using a 66' doublet in the attic fed with 300 ohm twinlead through the Elecraft 4:1 balun into the KAT2.  I haven't noticed the noise on other bands, just 80m.  Any ideas as to what may be causing this noise?  I'll try to get a recording of it soon.  Stay posted.
