MH3 rattle?

[Elecraft mailing list]

Good morning everyone,

 

I've got a new MH3 that hasn't ever been dropped.  When I *gently* shake it,
I hear something rattling around in it.like a spring of some sort.  Is that
normal?  If I "roll" it in all different directions, I don't hear anything
rolling around on the inside, so there's nothing that has come loose, just a
little something that's shaking around if I gently shake it side to side.

 

Thanks!

Mine doesn't rattle. It comes apart fairly easily to check why.

Thanks, Chuck.  I took mine apart and it looks like the cause is the small
plastic donut (with foam wrapped around it) that surrounds the wire between
the circuit board and mic.  I think it had enough room to wiggle around.
Once reassembled, the rattling went away, as I suspect the wire arrangement
no longer allows for it to bounce around on the inside.
