I recall a long time ago that Tom Hammond, N0SS, reported that he 
originally had an unexpected birdie with his Field Test K3. I believe 
that he stopped the birdie from signing by tightening up a screw on the 
side panel... perhaps the one that secured the left side panel to the 
internal shield.

I just found the email... URL below. Hope your solution is as quick as 
Tom's was.
