[Kenwood] TS-940 Birdies

Hello,

My Kenwood TS-940SAT went in for repair.  When it returned, it seemed 
to work well except for one annoying problem.  Although I can live 
with it, it bugs the heck out of me.  The problem is that my 940 has 
an S-9+ birdie every 100 kHz, regardless of band tuned!

I don't know what repairs were actually done.  I do know that I paid 
for a new synthesizer board and an alignment!

Is there something I can do to reduce this birdie problem without 
making things worse?  Although I have nearly fifty years experience 
with vacuum tube technology, the TS-940 scares the tar out of me!

BTW:  I do not want to return the transceiver back to the repairman in Florida!

Thanks for your assistance,

Tom, K8JRM (Oklahoma City)
