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 :( de John/W1RT _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

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 ...

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? de John/W1RT On 6/30/05, John D'Ausilio <[hidden email]> wrote: > 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 ... > > On 6/30/05, John D'Ausilio <[hidden email]> wrote: > > Working the fox hunt tonite .. 20 is pretty quiet here at the beach, > > and tuning around I hear weird birdies on specific frequencies.
