My thought is that the problem was caused by one or more of the natural
spurious responses of the KX-1's receiver, not by some harmonic or spur
generated by the BC transmitters themselves. BC transmitter harmonics might
also be generated and heard if you had a "rusty bolt" problem caused by say
a nearby fence, and the BC signals were strong enough.

As I have mentioned before, I really enjoyed using the KX-1 on holiday in
Europe this year but found that there were several broadcast stations
appearing across 20m from about 14.20MHz upwards. I was using a roughly
5/8
wave vertical antenna with counterpoise and the internal ATU.
Is this normal operation, or should I delve into the manual for alignment
procedures? I am at a disadvantage in that I did not build the unit. The
radio suffered a pretty bad knock whilst camping and I am wondering if
something is adrift.
