[Elecraft] Click or Pop Sound Using Diversity Receive

[Toby Pennington]

Just found out the clicking occurs when the KPA 500 is in line.  I do not hear the clicking when unkeying using the rig barefoot,   but only occurs when the amp is turned on and active.  I am using the special K3 to KPA 500 cabling.   

This does not occur when not in Diversity mode,   but does occur when in diversity mode on cw.

  Subject: Click or Pop Sound Using Diversity Receive


  I am using diversity receive on CW and notice a pop or click  (sounds like a relay ) after sending a word (semi bk-in ).  This does not occur with the AUX ANT disengaged as I am no longer using the second antenna. 

  My rig is set up to use the second receiver antenna attached to ant port #2 instead of the BNC arrangement for AUX receive.  When I bought this rig used it was set up that way.  

  I wonder if this may have something to do with it? 

  Any ideas?
