[Elecraft] WSJT-X Problem with K3S

[Nicklas Johnson]

Two things: one is to go through the usual steps around keeping RF out of
the shack.  There are a lot of resources around this online regarding
baluns, "ugly baluns" and so-on.

The other thing I've done is exactly as you've said: several turns of
computer cables through ferrite.  Watch your cable bend radius.
