Well the Omni V birdie hunt has trickled to a close. As anticipated, and
confirmed by T-T, the significant birdie at approximately 21.33 MHz goes
with the territory. I have been able to eliminate some birdies and diminish
others so it wasn't a totally wasted exercise! My major success was
achieved by adding some decoupling capacitors on the PLL and Xtal Osc-Lo
boards.
In conclusion - if you want a quiet receiver with Xtal mixing you'll have to
live with a few birdies. Given the overall performance of the Omni V.9, I
am more than willing to do that!
As usual, a summary of the birdie hunt is on my webpage.
