Contact Dale at Elecraft support...    I had the same problem and it turned out to be a bad cap on the board behind the front panel.  they sent me a replacement board right away.

A way to check it is go into the menu on the KPA500   set the LED BRT  to DAY and see if the birdies go away.  if so it is a bad board,    the birdies are only present when the LED BRT is set to anything but DAY..

it has something to do with the driver for the display......
