Hello
In the past days I have been using my K3 for SW broadcast AM listening.
Marvellous rig for that task, indeed. But I have notice the following:
Some times scaning the bands quickly, I hear a strong "pop". The Smeter
goes high and I think I have found a station. I tune backwards and there
is another "pop" at the same frequency but there is no signal. The pop
is present only when frequency changes, but disapears when frequency is
stabiliced.
For example there are strong pops at 13676 kHz, 13651 kHz, 13638 kHz,
13626 kHz....plenty of them.
Have you notice that in your K3?
This problem does not disturb receiving stations at all but it is a
nasty effect when scanning the band.
Many thanks in advance.
73, Ramiro. EA4NZ.
