[Elecraft] RFI issues

[Dave Cole]

Hi,

I might suspect something else...

Have you done a power off test of your home yet?

73, and thanks,

Ever since I moved to this QTH a few months ago, I am unable to use my K3: solid S9+ noise on all bands using a makeshift dipole strung up on some trees outside my house. I’ve tried to locate the source of the RFI within my home but so far have been unable to locate any RFI emanating from within my home. Could it be that the TV/FM stations antenna towers, which are within direct line of sight from my house, might be responsible for the RFI?
