On a few occasions I have had reports of a broad signal generating key
clicks. One report was backed up with a photo of a pan adapter screen shot.
Subsequent checks with a local showed no such problem. The station who
reported the problem told me he had received a similar report from a number
of guys.
I don't have anything unusual in my setup. I'm running a K3S at 32 watts
driving a Expert 2K-FA. At the time of this report I was working a station
is MS so my 20 meter beam was pointing just south of the house.
I was concerned that somehow the amp keying was getting in the act but that
would not account for a broad signal only clicks which the amp has circuitry
to eliminate any hot switching. In conversations with W5UQ at Expert he
suggested the possibility of RF so I ordered the Palomar Engineering
filtering kits for both the amp and K3S. I'll put them on as soon as they
arrive.
Has anyone run into similar problems? If so can you reproduce them? Better
have you found the source and fixed it?
Pete, W1RM
