              I am looking for possible causes of increased receive noise I
am experiencing whenever I turn on my KPA 1500 .   I have always had this
issue but at first disregarded it as maybe common mode noise but have since
experimented a bit by connecting a dummy load to the receiver and producing
the same results.
             The receiver is a K3s model and I have taken several
opportunities to bond all equipment and tried ferrite #33 beads in several
places with no change in results.
             Has anyone else on this site had the same problem.  The noise
is the greatest on 6 and 10 meters where it would show up as more of a
problem as well with a +20-db noise on 6 meters and +10-db on 10 meters.
