[Kenwood] Re: [6 Meter Sked] Birdie on .125-SOLVED

[John Geiger (NE0P)]

While listening to 50.125 today with the autonotch on, and looking over a textbook for tonights class, the birdie that had been plaguing me for the past few days just disappeared.  I couldnt believe it at first, so I swung the beam NE, and it is gone.  There did seem to be bit more static as soon as it disappeard, so I got to thinking that maybe one of the neighbors had a rechargable tool that they just took off the charger and started running.  The charger would cause the birdie, and the tool running would cause the static.  Looked around the immediate neighborhood and didn't see anything.  The static settled without the birdie remaining.

WIll keep these suggestions in mind in case it reappears, but for now, I am keeping my fingers crossed.  Thanks for all of the help.

The Autonotch and beat cancel on the TS2000 will handle it pretty well, but still not as well as if it wasn't there.  I have tried turning off/unplugging several things in the home (computers, VCR, DVD players) with no luck so far.  One ham had a problem with his internet router, so I tried unplugging that also, along with the cable modem.  No luck there.  Has anyone on the list have this problem before, and if so, what was the final cause of it?  It peaks about S3 from the NE direction, and will get weaker when I move the miniquad to the direct south or NW.  That suggests that it could be outside the house, and might go drive around the neighborhood a little this weekend to try and localize it, but would like to eliminate things in the house first.
