Have you tried the K3 birdie elimination menu item? See the K3 f/w release notes for info on using this. It works very well on stable internal K3 birdies.
Also, please note that if you have the sub RX, the coax cable that drives the first LO of the sub RX needs to be routed exactly as noted in the manual along the RF PCB. If it is up in the air it will cause additional birdies. 73, Eric WA6HHQ John N1JM wrote: > I know this has been discussed quite a bit before but I'm a little > disappointed in the amount of birdies within the ham bands.
