K3 4.51 distortion

w0mu
Copying station on 20m CW with the preamp on and the thr above 8 there
is a very noticable distortion to the signals.  SLP does not seem to
change this.  I don't know if the Thr is adding to the noise thus making
the cw sound distorted or something else.

One of the issues is that my powered headphones were turned off.  When
on the disagreeable sounds are less but still there much lower.  Curious!

Have you tried listening with a different set of headphones altogether
before blaming the distortion on the software?

I am not blaming anything.  I was offering up an observation so that
those in the know would be aware.
