Good point.  I am often amazed with concerns about birdies.  I have 
several networks, and multiple computers and other equipment within 
feet of the K3.  I have birdies all over the place.  But none of them 
have gotten in the way when I was operating.  But fully understand 
many do not have any of this in the shack.
