Dear group,
At first I thought I did not have any noticeable birdies, but now it seems that I have developed a few. It's probably from moving cables and such around inside the rig. When I tune quickly through a band, I can hear solid tones that change in pitch as I move up or down in frequency. The weird thing is, they don't behave like I thought a birdie would. In my case, disconnect the antenna and the tone practically disappears below the noise floor. Reinsert the antenna, and it comes back. Also, switching from my antenna on ANT1 to the dummy load on ANT2 or the RX connector removes the birdie as well. The NB has no effect, but the notch feature does. For example, moving the notch to 2700Hz wipes out a strong signal tone on 28.380 I haven't tried the birdie mapping feature yet, so I thought I'd ask. is what I'm hearing considered a birdie in this case, or just DDS signal noise? 73, James KC2UEE ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
