OK - mystery solved! I had posted this on the Elecraft reflector and shortly thereafter realized it should have gone on the KX groups.io <http://groups.io/> list. So, I put it there and THAT is where my answer came from. Now, why it took almost a week to get into the Elecraft reflector is another question. But anyway, my problem was fixed AND now I know why I’m seeing double! Sorry for all the confusion, folks.
BTW - the “birdie” thingy was resolved by the Tech Mode entry RX ISO - turning it ON got rid of the “birdie”. Thanks to JPE1HZG for clueing me in to that one. > On Jun 19, 2024, at 10:00 AM, James Bennett <w6...@me.com> wrote: > > Wow - this is strange!
