Hello all:
I operate a lot of 6 meters an want to use the P3 band scope for weak signal operating. However when I turn the P3/SVGA on my noise floor jump up 3 or 4 db above what it is with the P3 turned off. Turning on and off the Monitor makes no differance. I know of a couple other guys in South West Missouri that has the same problem on 6 meters. Oh just for informaton the P3 works well on all of the other band 160 to 10 and 2 meters. I am running a K3 with all the options except the second receiver. It is a great working radio too. 73, Bill, W0WFH ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] |

Bill,
I do not have the SVGA board in my P3, but do weak signal 6M operating and have no difficulty with noise floor increases on the K3 on 6M. I removed power completely from the P3 just to be sure. The noise floor stayed the same. You might remove the SVGA board and just see if that is the problem. Most modern flat screens actually do not turn fully off with the on/off switch. I would remove the power source completely to make sure the noise is not from the monitor.

Hi Bill,
