[ICOM] ICOM 706 MKIIG Birdies

[jpk5lad at cox.net]

Hi JV --
I have what I thought was a birdie on my IC-756PRO right 
around 50.125.  It traveled/travels around within a half kc 
one way or the other.  I finally determined that my problem 
is in a 900MHz cordless phone in my shack.  Actually it's 
part of the charger circuit as I can remove the phone to stop 
the charging and my "birdie" goes away.  When 6 meters 
heats up, the phone comes off charge.

Interference can come from some of the strangest places.  
Good luck and 73,
Jim - K5LAD
