[Elecraft] Rig control error with K3S and WSJT-X on 30 meters

[Dave (NK7Z)]

Hi,
See:

https://www.nk7z.net/rfi-now-house-cleaning/

I has similar issues, and solved them via the process described on my 
web page.

That is Part two of a three part article on removing RFI, and 
understanding your RF environment.  This part covers self induced RFI, 
which is what I suspect you are seeing in your setup.

73, and thanks,
