Hi Tom, It's been a few years since I did birdie hunting on my K3 because most of them turned out not to be birdies but signals originating from my wireless router in a different room. So step 1 is to pull the power cord out of your router and see if the problem goes away. If it does buy a different router.
Step 2 is to remove your antenna cable and make sure the birdie does not decrease in strength. If it does then it's probably a signal coming in on your antenna and not something generated inside the K3. After confirming that it is internally generated, step 3 is to remove the K3 top cover and listen to the birdie while you move the various coax cables inside the K3 around. If you find a position that eliminates the noise, tape the cable in place with some painters tape. 73, Mike K2MK k1tl wrote > Hi all, > > I have been having a problem with a 6m internal birdie around 50.096 which > is fairly strong and interferes with any signal(s) around that frequency. > I > did the "birdie removal tool" thingee but seems to put a small "void" in > that area when I did it. > > Have any of you K3 owners have a similar problem? > > I'm wondering if it may be a cabling issue with the SYNTH boards cable > routing.
