George, I am not certain what you mean by "proper sub forum" - there is only one Elecraft reflector that I know of, even if it is presented both in pure email as well as Nabble posts.
It is true that the KX1 has several birdies, especially on 20 meters. Double check the 14 MHz Low Pass Filter located after the DDS for proper components (the DDS has a harmonic-rich output). I suspect some are coming from the DDS harmonics and mixing with harmonics of the BFO. There is not a lot of room for complete isolation inside that small enclosure. For the most part, I simply ignore those birdies, but YMMV. 73, Don W3FPR On 10/17/2011 7:38 AM, George Winship, NC5G wrote: > KD6GW wrote: >> Today, close to civilization, practically everything radiates something. >> You may be >> hearing Ethernet trash from your or your neighbor's.
