Hi Jules!
I have a temporary workaround that I use...albeit a pain in the butt one.
That birdy seems related to an oscillator in the KPA-100 (HV PS?)..although
Don can be probably be more specific.
I've found that by turning the power level down that the birdy shifts a bit
in frequency...maybe a few kHz. Enough to make a difference between
hearing a station and not.
If a new country is sitting on 29.020 I'll twiddle the power level between
transmissions...otherwise I avoid that frequncy during normal operation.

Subject: [Elecraft] 10M birdie and other assundries
Just out of curiousity, after spending some time on
10M during ARRL 10, I noticed a birdie around
28.019/20. Is there a way to eliminate this or move it
below 28.000?
As to my high current draw on 160, the KPA100 works
fine into a dummy load and straight into the antenna.
It does seem to draw more with the KAT100 in the
circuit. I can't imagine much in the tuner that would
cause such a problem (although I could be wrong). My
thoughts drift towards a ground loop issue and/or rf
getting back into the rig's control circuit. Guess I
will be adding some further current chokes in the
shack...
Best wishes to all for the holiday season. May 2007 be
good to you and yours...
Cheers,
Julius
