[Elecraft] Possible phase noise question...

[David Cole]

Hi,

We are starting to focus on the Signalink soundcard itself...  I can't
imagine it is the Elecraft K3 failing, as a dead carrier does not cause
the spray, only when audio is being supplied to the transmitter, and
only when from the Signalink, does the problem happen...
