[Elecraft] K3 Birdies

[David Gilbert]

Personally, I don't think that's going to be likely.  The birdies don't 
all tune in the same direction, and they all aren't in the same position 
relative to a 100 Hz boundary.  As a result, some birdies are best 
removed by a shift in one direction,  and others by a shift in the other 
direction.  Birdies near a 100 Hz boundary (i.e., 14174.101) often 
require both ... a shift in one direction for one 100Hz segment and in 
the opposite direction for the adjacent segment, but even that 
generalization is not always optimum.

Since the birdies are mixer products of UHF harmonics and their strength 
varies from rig to rig depending upon cable placement, I don't think 
it's going to be very practical for the software to try to know what 
generated a birdie on any particular frequency in order to decide how 
best to remove it. 

For me, I'm just glad to be able to remove them manually.
