I sent an email to the group yesterday and received a reply stating that the mailbox was full?? So, I'll resend my request for help.
I haven't used my KX1 since I completed assembly a few weeks ago. At that time all seemed well. In preparation for a trip I got the unit out to test it. I found that as the VFO was tuned a "popping or clicking" noise is heard each time the display moves. It sounds like statis from a counter?? I seem to recall seeing this mentioned by the group but I can't find a reference. Any ideas? External battery voltage is approximately 12.4 volts. Internal batteries are low, but I still hear the sound.

I'm not sure this is the same noise you are hearing... While the display on my KX1 is lit, I hear a static like noise. Reducing the brightness of the display to about half cuts out all the noise. My guess is I am hearing the digital signal that strobes the multiplexed LED display. By reducing the brightness the noise is too low to be a problem. 73 John WA8KNE [hidden email] wrote: > I sent an email to the group yesterday and received a reply stating that the mailbox was full??
