Audio (setting) problem
Locked
 
|
Several questions here:
All of a sudden my receive audio is horribly over modulated and the audio volume knob is almost uncontrollable because it is so sensitive and I have to adjust it for each person speaking. I had the menu up and spun the vfo knob to change frequency and do not know what I changed. I really think this is what caused it. I had loaded 4.17 and that may been when it started and went back to 4.14 (downloaded version, not "saved version), no change, and now to 4.22 and it is still doing the same thing so I think I messed it up a setting. Ideas on what to check? Are my "settings" saved when I save my configuration? I will go back farther to see if that will clear it out if so. I am assuming (there is that word again) I can go to any previous SAVE to restore my settings to that condition and then jump directly to 4.22 for instance. True?

OK, Guys, THANKS - right on, I knew this was going to be stupid. Do you
know how much you can look at the menu settings and not see that AGC is OFF? The settings are there but not the on/off,fast,slow. And, when my mind was on having screwed up the menu, I didn't even see on the panel it was OFF.

Jim, Sounds like you turned off the AGC - tap the AGC button. 73, ...

For the last week or so, probably starting with the APF releases, but I
don't know that for sure, I've had an intermittent problem with the AF Gain control. The volume sometimes is very loud and distorted when the control is in the 8-10 o'clock range of the pot. I tested the pot, as suggested by Dale Farmer, using the CONFIG:SW Test, setting it to Scn Adc, and that seemed to be OK. It's a recent problem for me, and unfortunately I can't say exactly when it started.

When my K3 went dead on 30m, and after lots of back and forth diagnosing, Wayne called me on the phone, and said, "OK, let's start simple. On any band where it works, what ANT is selected?" You can probably fill in the blanks from here, on 30m, I had inadvertently selected ANT2 and failed to note it on the display. It did teach me to study the display first before diving into the uncharted CONFIG:MENU waters. Menu stuff takes overt changes on my part, the buttons and switches are open "targets of opportunity" for fat fingers. And, mildly astounding, the designer of my radio actually called me :-) 73, Fred K6DGW - Northern California Contest Club - CU in the 2011 Cal QSO Party 1-2 Oct 2011 - www.cqp.org ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html |

My guess is that it should be LOW and may have been changed to HIGH. 73, Jim K9YC ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html |
