[Elecraft] K3 Birdies

[John N1JM]

I know this has been discussed quite a bit before but I'm a little
disappointed in the amount of birdies within the ham bands. Seems like
lately I have found more than earlier. I have 3 on 40 meters that are a
least S5 that I don't think were there before and am sure they are generated
within the radio. I know the firmware can be set to get around some of
these. Maybe I need to go in and tighten down screws again. I suppose this
is a characteristic of down conversion ham band only type radios to some
degree. The off-shore manufactured upconverted style radios don't seem to
have this problem. I've never had a birdie within the ham bands on a higher
end general coverage upconversion style radio that I have ever owned and I
have owned a few from I-K-Y.

Sorry for the comments but I just had to vent :-).

73,
