[Elecraft] RES: K3 birdies

[py5eg]

Hi Guys:
I do have 4(tour) K3 and I really don´t understand why Elecraft is not taking care of it.
This is (my opinion) ridiculous!!!
Everyone is making serious comments on this issue and no effective actions???

Routing the cables when adding the second RX was very tricky and
caused birdies to appear and disappear while being moved around.
Though it is an added cost, a premade wiring harness to enforce a
tested good routing would be useful.

Or perhaps if there was an actual size template of a wiring harness to
be assembled as part of the kit, with some pre-printed stickers to put
on the cables.

Precise routing is fairly left to chance as currently implemented.

I also hear far less birdies (next to none relatively) tuning across
the band in CW, vs. SSB.

To be fair, most birdies are buried in a busy band without effect, and
require a dead band to hear them.  In mine there were three that were
obnoxious enough to bother killing them with the menu device.  I do
NOT experience related audio gaps as reported by some others.  I DO
get gaps if I overcorrect.

73, Guy.
