[Elecraft] K3 Tuning encoder pulses and birdie problem

[Ken K3IU]

G'morning, Jim:

On my K3 (#202) with latest firmware, I hear only one birdie that 
doesn't go away when I disconnect the antenna while tuning between 28000 
and 28100. That is a "fast moving" birdie at about 28086. I hear no 
"tuning pulses" anyplace.

73,
Ken K3IU
