KX1 Receive Audio
Locked
 
|
I have a KX1 that I hadn't used in awhile but I got it out recently. Works
fine - made a couple of contacts with it - but the audio has some "artifacts" at times. Usually they are very quiet, and they go away when I hold the radio in my hand. Some sort of odd grounding issue of some sort? I hear the artifacts even without an antenna. It comes across as clicking, almost always very quiet - you can hear it best if you turn down the RF gain. At any rate, the radio is quite usable but I thought I'd see if anyone else has this issue.

Dana, you might want to re-seat the tuner and any other internal connectors. You didn't indicated which options are installed.
Have a great day!

Thanks Bill; the KX1 has the antenna tuner and 30m. The 30m option is
soldered in, but I did reseat the tuner just now and that may have well fixed it. I appreciate the suggestion!

Dana, glad to help. I was a field tester and remember the internals to some degree. I loved that little radio which I lived through hardware and software updates. I now use a KX2.
H Bill K9YEQ have a great day!
