[Elecraft] Loud POP in speaker at turn-on (K3)

[Edward R. Cole]

First: Thanks for posting your website url (saved in my favorites).

I wonder if any of you K3 owners have this phenomenon:  My K3 causes 
a loud pop-pop in the speaker when I turn on the power.  It appears 
that the volume is at full momentarily on turn on.  I am using an 
external 4-ohm speaker (not amplified).  It does this with the 
internal speaker, as well.
it does this even with volume control at minimum.  Is this normal?

Not a big problem, but it might disturb my wife's sleeping if I turn 
on the radio late at night.
Note that I have the radio with mostly default settings; flat Rx-EQ

   In an effort to help those who perceive their K3 as noisy, and for
those who are not certain their AGC slope and threshold settings are not
right for their operation, I have added a page to my website.

Go to www.w3fpr.com and click on the link in the left column referring
to K3 noise and AGC settings.
It is an expansion of the post I offered earlier today dealing with AGC
settings and their relationship to K3 noise.
