[Elecraft] K3/0 Mini Transmit Audio noise

[Ron Castro]

I just received a new K3/0 Mini and RemoteRig system and connected it via
LAN to a K3 that will soon be running remote.  Everything seems to work
except that the transmit audio is plagued by loud digital hash about 10 dB
below the mic level that does not occur when the mic is plugged directly
into the K3.  After reading a post from another user with the same problem,
I fed the mic directly into the RemoteRig and there was no noise.  I tried
both the front and side panel connections with three different microphones
that all worked fine with another RemoteRig system I am currently running.

 

While I am new to Elecraft products, I have used the RemoteRig equipment for
three years and I'm familiar with the settings, applications and
limitations, but it's clear to me that something is wrong in the K3/0.  This
is not the "click" caused by polling that was fixed with a recent update.
The user who had the problem last year said that there were numerous others
that had the same problem.

 

What is known about this and how can it be fixed, other than with my
'ham-strung' RJ45 jumper that brings the RemoteRig mic out direct?
