[Elecraft] [K3] Birdies

[John Bekema]

Hello Geoff!

I am using a linear power supply. On the lower end of the 10m band,
the birdies are a bit less.

On six meters, the birdies are stronger, for example on 50.09374 is an
S8 birdy. But the funny thing is, when listening
to the subreceiver to the same freq, with the same settings, the birdy
is much less noticable. It barely moves the meter.

Also when listening with one ear to the main rx and the other ear to
the sub rx while slowly tuning, I can hear on the main
receiver 'whooop whoop whooop' while nothing is heard on the
subreceiver. (receivers linked)

Ideas?

John
