Pete,
When I looked at your recording with digipan, I could see
a fairly strong line in the waterfall at 120 Hz. Can you make
the same recording with the antenna disconnected from the
FT1K-MK5 (~ same volume levels)? The noise sounds
to me like it has a powerline "buzz" in it, but there may also
be a low frequency hum in there too. I'd like to make sure
that the 120 Hz component I am seeing in the waterfall is
really noise coming off-the-air rather than hum that might
be coming from your rig or sound card.
Thanks,
Mike, W4EF.................
