[TenTec] Chirp, Chirp, Chirp, Spike, Spike, Spike

[Simmons, Reid W]

Chirp, Chirp, Chirp.  It sounds like Spring is here!

My Omni VI/3 does not have the CW chirp problem as far as I know,  but 
there is a SIZABLE spike (80 - 100 watts on a power meter) emitted on 
LSB when the when the PTT is activated.  I have traced it as far as the 
Low Level RF board but still haven't determined exactly what is 
generating it.  Any ideas?

Thanks.

Reid, K7YX

Clicks will be most perceptible in the wide receiver IF filter, least
perceptible in the narrow IF filter. The details of a particular
filter's frequency AND time response will determine what part of a click
it passes. That may vary from unit to unit depending on manufacturing
tolerances.

W1AW on 14.0475 has a leading edge click.

Chirps are narrow band events and should sound the same on narrow or
wide filters.

W1AW has NO chirp on 14.0475.
