[Elecraft] 160m noise

[Don Wilhelm]

Mikael,

I would suggest you try 2 things - first  connect a dummy load instead 
of the open antenna connector.
Second, leaving the dummy load in place, power the receiver from a 
battery to see if the higher noise is being caused by your power supply.

If neither of those things make a difference, contact support at elecraft.com.

When I go to 160m and do the same thing I have S3-S4 and I can hear a much higher noise level. It is the same behavior regardless if I use the RX antenna or the ANT1 jack (none with any antenna). I have the same settings on both bands.
