Strange sound
Locked
 
|
I've never seen this "situation" written about but I've just come
across a very strange sound on my K3 - S/N-1068. With the dial on 29.492.6 USB I get a continuous CW sounding signal. It alternates a dot, then a dash then a space. If it were truly CW is would be considered poorly sent CW and the speed is about 10- 12 WPM. The lengths of the characters are not exactly the same each time but it never stops. I discovered it yesterday and wanted to make sure it was not just a one time thing. I can switch modes and it remains. Removing the antenna does not stop it, actually makes it a little stronger with the noise level dropped. I'm using firmware 3.30 beta. I tried on the SUB receiver and I hear nothing. It smacks, a bit, of the beginning of a science fiction TV show. Any clue as to what I might be hearing? 73, Jim - K5LAD ================================================ Growing old is like being increasingly penalized for a crime you haven't committed. -- Anthony Powell ----------------- Visit my webpages at: http://www.hayseed.net/~jpk5lad/ ================================================ ______________________________________________________________ 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 |

I have a fairly weak birdie there (well v close), a solid carrier not 12 WPM CW. Can hear it on the subRX as well. Were you using the NR I wonder? It can sometimes make stuff sound like it's comin n goin. 73 Gary ZL2iFB ______________________________________________________________ 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 |
