I would blame that on the radio. Elecraft has a long history of Pin One 
Problems, which are a well known cause of RFI. I first alerted Wayne to 
this at least 15 years ago. Elecraft is not unique in the regard -- the 
last time I was at Dayton, several years ago, EVERY radio on display in 
booths that I was able to look at had obvious Pin One Problems. The 
following links were written nearly 20 years ago. Pro audio has mostly 
cleaned up its act. Ham radio is still in the dark ages.
