[Elecraft] 160m noise

[Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft]

Hi Mikael,

Make sure you reload your saved K3 configuration file to the radio after an 
EEINIT. (EEINIT clears all of the radio calibration values and any menu items 
you have changed.)

If you didn't save the K3 radio config file first, contact supoprt at elecraft.com 
for our saved K3 configuration file from when your radio was manufactured.

In general, EEINIT is not something you want to do without talking to our 
support techs first.

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.
