[Elecraft] Mic Noise

[Buck]

Thanks.  I was using a Heil Goldline and also tried an Elecraft MH4 
plugged in the front.  I get the same noise on FP.L and FP.H  Bias is 
off.  And, I still get the noise even when in TEST mode, so there is no 
RF.

I had the Tx Dly on the K3S set to 8.  I set it to 15 and the problem 
went away.  Was I hitting the amp too soon?  Amp is a KPA500.

Now the problem is back, even with the Tx Dly set to 20.
