[Elecraft] K3 Birdie 28004.560 kHz

[Bob]

Well this is not a small birdie and it is very obnoxious.  It is S7 here.  My 
KAT has had it from day one and my SN is in the 30's. I reported it back when 
the unit was 1st put in service.  Recently when the issue surfaced here again I 
sent in a copy of my prior correspondence on it to Elecraft.

Wayne had posted a comment on the list that the solution was to move the  the 
MCU crystal slightly to shift it out of the ham band.  He sent me a direct email 
that they are working on the best way to accomplish this and would post the 
solution when available.

So there was an answer from the "Main Man".   Once again not an approach that we 
would have received from the big 3.

73,
