Geoff, Are you proposing that some birdies may be caused by construction methods? If so, what techniques will reduce or eliminate birdies. Are there specific components that should be physically mounted in certain positions, either close to or spaced at a specific distance from the circuit board or other components? Rather than simply placing a component into the circuit board holes and soldering, should we be placing certain components into specific positions relative to the circuit board and other adjacent components?
As I am planning on building another K2, and am a perfectionist by nature, I would like to be sure that my construction is maximizing performance, and minimizing adverse effects such as birdies.
