We have been using a 6N2 on 6 Meters. It seems to have quite a few birdies. I was wondering if that is normal or maybe just band conditions? It hears very well, and we have a 150W solid state amp behind it. I like the setup, but not the birdies. It replaced an Alinco DX70 TH which had much more noise on RCV. Any comments from 6N2 users?
