Birdies

[bruce whitney]

I have strong birdies at 3.507 and 3.517 - with my factory assembled K3 S#2474 firm#2.78.
Some time ago I heard there is a firmware fix for eliminating them through some procedure to identify them and put in some sort of IF shift procedure - they are still there but it makes them go away as far as the operator is concerned. Any help?

Go to:

http://n2.nabble.com/Elecraft-f365791.html

and search for "birdie removal firmware" - one of the first page of
matches is the announcement of 3.03 firmware, where this feature
was first included, with notes on how to use it.

The "spurious signal removal" procedure was introduced in MCU revision 3.03
and is in all later versions.

See http://www.elecraft.com/K3/k3_beta_release_instructions.htm for a
description of how to install beta firmware.
