I can't say for sure about 21017, but several of the K3 birdies tune in
"reverse". And the subreceiver seems to be much better shielded than
the main receiver. The birdies in the subsreceiver are much weaker and
many of those heard in the main receiver are not detectable in the
subreceiver.
In any case, it seems you have nothing to lose by performing the birdie
removal process on 21017. If it goes away you know it was a birdie.
