Re: [Elecraft] Six meter birdies.

hi all, I am also suffering from birdies especially (but not only) on 6m. I have them on the main receiver and on the subreceiver, but on different frequencies. (found them on 40m and 20m too) Many of them are low volume and don't bother me in real life, but some are really loud (up to S6)

Re: [Elecraft] Six meter birdies

I read the digests, so I won't quote all of the helpful responses I've received on this topic but will add on here. Let me restate, the K3 was operated without an antenna and just a 50-ohm termination on the antenna connector. The only other piece of equipment operating in the shack was the

[Elecraft] Six meter birdies -- theory and mitigation

Some birdies are unavoidable in a high-dynamic-range, down-conversion design. We worked very hard to keep them out of the ham bands, and in the case of 6 m, we focused on keeping them out of the portion of the band typically used for weak-signal work. (The Orion has a similar conversion scheme

Re: [Elecraft] Six meter birdies

Wes, try it with a 6M antenna attached. I have found with a number of 6M rigs over the years that absent an external 6M antenna (or one not properly connected, i.e. a loose PL259), I hear all kinds of birdies on 6M. I have the same situation with my 2M rig. Once the antenna is connected however,

Re: [Elecraft] Six meter birdies.

I replaced my Orion 2 + Elecraft XV50 xverter with the K3, and I find I DO NOT have any extra birdies that the Orion combo a Icom IC751A + Microwave modules xverter had... don't know if you are new to 6 meters but in the city there are a few between 50.115 - 50.120 and a couple lower in the
