I thought the distance was far enough to eliminate RFI from household appliances, plasma TVs, etc. Also, the RFI is 24x7 so if it were caused by my neighbors? plasma TVs, there shouldn?t be any RFI at, say, 3AM in the morning. There are no electric fences in our area. I do have a UPS. I eliminated that as the source also.

The thing I am wondering about is I am not hearing any CW signals on 20m, 40m or 80m. I am just wondering if there is something I have set wrong. I am also wondering if the RF Gain is set properly. I know this question is a little vague but I am in the last stages of getting this remote setup working well. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Re: Elecraft Digest, Vol 190, Issue 17

Norman;

Elecraft has 200Hz, 250Hz, 400Hz and 500Hz filters. You can order them at the web site at the URL: https://elecraft.com/pages/k-line-transceiver-k3-k3s <https://elecraft.com/pages/k-line-transceiver-k3-k3s>
or call the main number at 831-763-4211 Monday through Friday to order. The order folks do not usually monitor this list, so it is best to contact them using the ways I mentioned.
Glad you are enjoying your K3!

73!
Jack, W6FB
