[ICOM] ICOM 706 MKIIG Birdies

[JV]

Hey Jim
    I have the pro also and there is nothing wireless in the house.  I have
turn off every thing except the PS and still have it. Also, I do not have
the birdie on the 706MKIIG at the same location.
    Bigest problem I have is when the beam is pointed West at my neighbors
house. I am picking up what appears to be something sparking and is a
constance S-5. I need to do a little searching. +/- 15 degrees and it goes
away. Just started about four weeks ago.

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,
