Fast-tuning birdies are a function of coax cable locations and synthesizer frequencies. Firmware changes should have no impact on them. If you're sure the new ones weren't there before, try writing them down and reloading an older version to make sure. > Also, while the birdie removal function works, it doesn't seem to do > it as > described in the release notes. > For example, the release notes state that the tool moves the artifact > out of > the passband within 100 Hz segment.

In many cases you'll need to remove the birdie from two or three adjacent 100-Hz segments. This is more likely with wide bandwidths than narrow. Just use the same procedure on each one. Test it by sweeping the VFO across the entire area after all audible birdies are mapped out. 73, Wayne N6KR --- http://www.elecraft.com ______________________________________________________________ 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
