[Elecraft] Voices from beyond the grave...

Hi Piero,

I suspect that you are experiencing some sort of RFI problem.   RF in the
shack can do strange and surprising things.

Like switching band or keying TX in a V/UHF transceiver or burning fingers
when touching a metal plate on the microphone or...? Don't ask how I imagine
that...

What other audio devices are in your shack?   Computer speakers?  Broadcast
radio?  
No, no.

Try this:  Disconnect from all other audio devices in your shack from AC
power.    Power down your PC.   Then use the K3 memories to send RTTY at
your full power.

If the 'voices'  disappear, then you'll have shown that RFI is the problem.

Well I can try also this, but at the moment it didn't happen any more and
I'm a little bit afraid to run full power.

If the 'voices' are still present, then it's time for an email to Elecraft
support.

Also, don't tell friends and neighbors that you are hearing 'voices' ... ;>)

Oh well, not so bad; they look at me as a 'strange' guy and hate my antennas
too!
