[Elecraft] XV144 Operation

[W M3M]

Dave,Birdies are normal on 6 meters, it has nothing do with the K3.  I have several 6 meter rigs and they get the same, sometimes very loud and strong birdies.I am also on 2 meter weak signal, only a few birdies there, nothing like 6 meters, again on all 2 meter rigs, its the same.I do not know the source of the birdies, suspect computers, power supplies, routers, etc etc.Best thing I find to use for the birdies on 6 is the auto notch, it works great on the K3 for 6 meter birdies.I have a very strong one right near 50.125, calling freq, using auto notch gets rid of it.I have mobile 6 meter all mode too and once away from house most of the birdies disappear.If you find better solution please let me know.  73Emory WM3M

> Hi Everyone,

> I have tried my K3 on 6 meters and was treated to a pile of large S3 birdies up and down the band.  Tech support says that condition is normal for 6 meters and to solve the situation when a birdies lands on a real signal is to use the filter shift.  Not a real good solution to the birdie problem.
> 
> My question is, when installing and using the XV144, is one to expect the same massive birdies on 2 meters as well?  I am planning on using my K3 for EME and do not need a bunch of birdies.
