[SADXA] Birdies on the bands

All:

For your interest I just found the source of a couple of birdies that I have been listening to for years on 160 and who knows where else. Come to find out they were coming from the power supply for one of my HP printers in the ham shack. This one happened to have a in-line switching supply that put two birdies on 160 and I would imagine other bands that had a little higher noise level and were less noticeable.

In any event if you are having problems with birdies on the band you might check the printer supply. Unplugging it is the fix. Next step throw it away :-)
