KX1 Birdie Hell

zeke7237
Working the fox hunt tonite .. 20 is pretty quiet here at the beach,
and tuning around I hear weird birdies on specific frequencies. A
frequency will be clear, and make a 10 hz step and there's a bird
there. Then, halfway through the test the noise level drops
considerably and the birdies are everywhere! Something seems to have
changed .. this is the longest workout my KX1 has had since being born
earlier this year and maybe there's a bad solder joint somewhere? No
test equipment at the beach :(

Further investigation shows it's only on 20 .. it's definitely the
KX1, as the ATS3 is quiet and doesn't hear any birdies at all ...

Re: KX1 Birdie Hell

So, now that I'm back from the beach and it's actually quiet so I can
hear stuff ... :)

The birdies are everywhere! All bands, every few clicks on the encoder
I encounter an audible one, and I suspect there are other above and
below my hearing ability. Any KX1 gurus have any ideas on how to
troubleshoot? Maybe I lost some decoupling somewhere?
