[Elecraft] USB Noise core gets hot when operating FT*?

I’m not sure, but, it’s a good point. I’m only running 50Watts.

With your antenna that close, are you sure you're not exceeding human

body RF exposure requirements?

Today I was working a digital mode (FT8) and lost connection to the radio. I
cycled power with no success. On reseating the USB connection at the
computer I felt the ferrite core was HOT. The cable didn't feel hot at all.
I'm using a 20m hamstick in the office as my antenna. I shut everything down
to cool off. Afterwards everything seems to be working correctly.

Any ideas?

Tnx and 73
