[Elecraft] Excessive Band Noise

[David Gilbert]

You'd probably get far more useful information from the RFI-reflector 
archives.  There is lots of information there on all sorts of 
RFI-causing devices (water bed heaters, plasma TVs, heating blankets, 
fish tank heaters, etc etc etc) and what each one tends to sound like 
... or look like on a spectrum analyzer if you have one.

It was higher on the higher frequencies and lower on the lower one's.  I don't think that I have an RF problem because it just seems it is band noise.  Is anyone else having the same issue?  I turned on my K3 this morning before I left for work and it was not any better.  Any suggestions or help would be much appreciated.  Mark KB3Z
