    FT-100D distorted , muffled modulation

    Thanks for the replies. After a lot of help from a local operator and a lot of adjustments i have it talking pretty good . I had to drop the mic gains , carriers and adjust comp , all around 25% lower than factory defaults . Still have more to adjust but at least its in the ballpark.

    FT-100D distorted , muffled modulation

    I've brought down MIC GAIN to 13 and COMP down to 15 . Adjusted the power a lil . It cleaned up alot but now the audio is very low . Almost no sweet spot in between .

    FT-100D distorted , muffled modulation

    Muffled in all modes, not as bad in fm (just sounds twangy ) . SSB is almost non understandable .

The radio just has muffled , distorted modulation and almost reverb/echo sounding also . I did the mic mod and also replace the mic with a new one . Reset all...

    Ftdx 1200,3000 991a , IC7300

    I ended up going with the FTDX3000. I love it .Its probably more radio than I need for now but i plan on getting years of use out of it . Definitely don’t regret my decision.

    Ftdx 1200,3000 991a , IC7300

    Im a lil skeptical the touchscreen units . It’s good when they work but when the touchscreen goes out it makes the units useless. Also how readily available will the screens be in the future when newer models replace the older ones . I’m only saying this because I've had multiple failures with...

    Ftdx 1200,3000 991a , IC7300

    Mostly looking for a desk radio. UHF/VHF would be nice to have which was one reason i was leaning more towards the FT991a but not necessary beings I already have a 2 meter setup The Fatboy amp and roger beep are irrelevant to this topic .

    Im looking to get a new HF rig . I’m undecided between 4 radios . The Yaesu ft991a , ftdx1200 , ftdx3000 and the Icom IC7300. Looking for opinions , pros and cons on the radios listed above and which one would you buy and why . Thanks in advance

    Rci2990 no display or lights only white noise

    I have an Rci2990 that was working perfectly. I moved it from one room to another room . Plugged it in and nothing on the face works . No lights on frequency counter , key pad , or meters . The frequency counter is also blank and it doesn't receive or transmit. Only white noise from the speaker...
