[Elecraft] [K3] Birdies

[dmoes at nexicom.net]

do you have WiFi

my dlink router is throwing birdies big time  and its still there when 
the antenna is disconnected.     havn't checked the spacing but that 
seems about correct. They are most noticable on 15-10m  havn't tried 
6m.  one birdie sits right on a local 10m net frequency so when the 
net's on the internet is off and router unplugged, much to the 
grumbling of the rest of the family.    the band seems clean when the 
router is unplugged.
