Dave,Birdies are normal on 6 meters, it has nothing do with the K3. I have several 6 meter rigs and they get the same, sometimes very loud and strong birdies.I am also on 2 meter weak signal, only a few birdies there, nothing like 6 meters, again on all 2 meter rigs, its the same.I do not know the source of the birdies, suspect computers, power supplies, routers, etc etc.Best thing I find to use for the birdies on 6 is the auto notch, it works great on the K3 for 6 meter birdies.I have a very strong one right near 50.125, calling freq, using auto notch gets rid of it.I have mobile 6 meter all mode too and once away from house most of the birdies disappear.If you find better solution please let me know. 73Emory WM3M
