I don't remember the exactly frequency, but I believe I have a reverse-tuned 
birdie about this frequency on my K2. I say reverse-tuned because when you bump 
the dial, it moves in frequency more than the dial is bumped.

It's not terribly strong, so I ignore it. It is likely the result of mixing 
products within the K2, which doesn't surprise me if you find it to be 
microphonic.
