David,
Does your FT-817 also show birdies on...
Hello Tom

I did not do an exhaustive search, I just reported the most obvious.
I found the following very loud ones:
3.895Mhz, 7.245Mhz, 28.873Hhz, 50.242Mhz, 144.215Mhz, 432.261

The Radio was connected/terminated into a dummy load.
After a trip to Yaesu they have been reduced by approx 25-50%.
(subjective), the service report indicated that
"chip capacitors added".??

Thanks David,

The birdies on 3.895, 7.245 and 28.873 are very weak on my FT-817. The
ones you mention on 6, 2 and 70cm don't appear with my rig. But I
notice birdies on 438.100, 438.900 etc. which are quite annoying. Will
check with Yaesu if those could be reduced.
