Val,

A little more news.
Not only is it on 3513.5 but, it is also on 1/2 that freq at 1756.75.
At 1900Z this afternoon I could hear on both frequencies. Same number of
signals in the pass band, about 6 or 7, and they seem to be modulated. I was using AM with +/- 6.6 kHz pass band. Later at 2100Z it was only on 3513.5. I haven't tried higher but, may tonight. I don't have any input filters for the Flex to listen below the BC band with any
accuracy.

Since we are both hearing it, on the coast and here just North of Atlanta, it is either being transmitter or has something to do with the power grid. Maybe Tom, W8JI, can get a good direction on it. I have a problem with my little K9AY, the plug has corroded and I can't change direction right now. If it off the power grid it will be coming from everywhere.
Does anyone else hear this signal?

73,

Jim  K4DLI

Good Day, Like most I am trying to prepare for Top Band season.  I have a 
mystery noise which Warlbes and slightly shifts Freq. centering around 3513.5 
Khz.I can disconnect most everything in house, including Modems, Computers, 
Fluorescents,TVs, Gadgets and am down to using a 12V battery on the K3, 
connected to any outside antenna, including RX ant., and can still hear this 
noise. Anyone experience this type noise around this frequency?  And what have 
you found?Possible Smart meter noise?  But it is pretty constant, there all the 
time, not on and off periodically.  About all I can conclude so far.I usually 
have a pin drop quiet environment here on the island where utilities are 
underground and want to find the source. Thanks for any comments. ValN4RJ
