Weaker birdies can be drowned out by band noise. If you want to find these weaker birdies, disconnect the antenna.
As for bandwidth and mode, you should use the mode(s) and bandwidth(s) you are most likely to use at that frequency - the birdies change frequency when you change modes and/or when you change between roofing filters with different offsets. 73, Rich VE3KI K9GS wrote: > So...what is the best way to check for birdies...no antenna, dummy load, > shorted coax plug? > > And i assume you want the bandwidth wide and probably in CW mode?? ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
