[Elecraft] K3 - 6m Internal Birdie

[Mike K2MK]

Hi Tom,

It's been a few years since I did birdie hunting on my K3 because most of
them turned out not to be birdies but signals originating from my wireless
router in a different room. So step 1 is to pull the power cord out of your
router and see if the problem goes away. If it does buy a different router.

Step 2 is to remove your antenna cable and make sure the birdie does not
decrease in strength. If it does then it's probably a signal coming in on
your antenna and not something generated inside the K3. 

After confirming that it is internally generated, step 3 is to remove the K3
top cover and listen to the birdie while you move the various coax cables
inside the K3 around. If you find a position that eliminates the noise, tape
the cable in place with some painters tape.

73,
Mike K2MK
