K3 Low Audio Output on 2M FM
 
|
I used for the first time the FM mode on 2M during an EOC Area Exercise this
weekend. The K3 has the internal 2M transverter along with a 13 KHz FM filter in the main radio (VFO A) All were having much difficulty with my transmissions due to low audio output. RF out was not the issue with full quieting received by all. The deviation is at the factory setting of 5.0. Equalization is also untouched from the factory. It appears to be a flat line in Menu. Mic is a Heil Pro-Set Plus switched to Full Range. No issues with 2M SSB in VHF contests. Where do I begin to look to fix this FM Mode issue? 73, Bud W3LL [hidden email] ______________________________________________________________ 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 KX3 makes a scratchy/ distorted/ noise/ only on 20 meters with tuning CW.

Latest firmware... Doe t do it on any other band... As I tune I hear it... When I stop, I don't. It's not real loud but it is rather bothersome. VFO NR is on. It's kind like I'm hearing some bleed thou from another off frequency station. Or if I am tuned on a station and I joggel the vfo back and forth is cause the distortion and noise etc. Vfo NR is on.
Any ideas? Tu Phil K5SSR A wise man once said nothing....

It sounds like a loose wire as I tune...
