Topband: Kenwood TS-590S internal birdie on 160?

[Brad Rehm]

Neil,

It's there, but it's weak.  It doesn't register on the S-meter, and I
haven't noticed it before because the band noise, even on a quiet
night, covers it up.

I don't think this is anything to be surprised about.  The instruction
manual notes (page 79) that some internal beats are "inevitable when
you use superheterodyne receivers."  It goes on to mention three
frequencies on which you can find signals.

Don't think I'll send my radio back because of this.  All the radios
I've owned have had internal beats.

73,
Brad
