[Elecraft] 160m noise

[Don Wilhelm]

Mikael,

One more thing - make sure you are comparing 80 and 160 equally.  Do you 
have the preamp on for both bands, or off for both bands?
Preamp on/off is a per band setting.

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.
