Re: [Elecraft] K3 10M Birdie
I also find one there, very weak however. I also heard a few more up the band, all very weak. When switching on the ant the band noise pretty much covers them up.

I have the birdie at 28004.5kHz. No raspy noises when tuning.

RE: [Elecraft] K3 10M Birdie
What's the big deal with birdies? Perhaps if you are operating from the middle of nowhere miles from the nearest computer the bands are actually quiet unless a real signal is present. Here there are so many unmodulated carriers and other noises from computers, computer peripherals, cordless phones, TV set top boxes, burglar alarms and goodness knows what else that you just get used to them. If some of them were actually generated from within the K3 I would never know. - Julian, G4ILO K3 s/n: 222 K2 s/n: 392 G4ILO's Shack: www.g4ilo.com Zerobeat Ham Forums: www.zerobeat.net/smf -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/K3-10M-Birdie-tp17458757p17461803.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 10M Birdie
Hi, No big deal, it just gets in the way occasionally, just like a similarly placed offering in the K2, albeit that one has a different source. For what it's worth, I've been working signals on 10M this weekend somewhat lower in strength than this particular birdie. No band noise at all when plugging the antenna in. If you use WSJT on 6M you will even find 'em -25dB, one cost me a completion on EME, mainly due to operator error on my part and I wouldn't expect Elecraft to try and sort sub noise level signals out. So yes, some of us routinely work at very low receive signal levels in reasonably quiet locations, even on HF. You just have to remind yourself why the other guy can't hear you.

I have it too. It's a clean carrier, too weak to indicate on the S meter. Windy KM5Q #764 ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
