[Elecraft] [K3] Phase Noise / CW Key Clicks

[gary bartlett]

And thanks from me too.  What has been pointed out here and what Lyle said
yesterday (see below) and what others have pointed out in their own ways has
demystified a subject that, once couched in simple words, is not so hard to
understand.

Quote from Lyle KK7P:  Transmitted broadband noise is often much higher than
phase noise from the various oscillators.  In general, I'd expect the
transmitter broadband noise to be higher, perhaps much higher, than the
phase noise contribution from the oscillators.  The noise contribution from
low level transmit buffers, for example, can be significant. Unquote.

Thanks, guys.

73,
