Dave I have several birdies on both 6 (K3) and 2 meters (K3+XV144) - most can be traced to the computer or router/Ethernet radiation. Shielded Ethernet cables helped me a lot. 73, Mike, W3IP

That said, on 6 m there should be very birdies in the weak-signal area (the part of the band typically used for CW and SSB work). Transverters using the K3 as a 28-MHz I.F. will generally have even fewer birdies, if any, in the weak-signal range. In rare cases it may make sense to use the SIG RMV menu entry on those that remain. 73, Wayne N6KR On Sep 10, 2013, at 10:10 AM, "Dave Anderson, K4SV" <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Everyone, > > I have tried my K3 on 6 meters and was treated to a pile of large S3 birdies > up and down the band.
