Cap kit arrived today. Will change out all the caps this weekend and report back. Thanks Klondike for the great service.

No. It is only on the channel I'm talking on. It's not like a clicker click with a dead key. It's more like the alc limiter is kicking in on high.

No beating up. I truly appreciate all the help. AM has the click. Not so pronounced like on ssb but with a whistle I hear it right at the beginning of the whistle. Where on ssb it is there with every peak clear but under the voice. PA is clear as can be with no click I could hear.

Stock mic. Tried 3 different ones.

Later today I will check it on AM and the PA. Yes the .1 is original. This radio was a virgin when I got it. Never had a screw out. Everything is as factory.

And the cap is a .1 not changed to a 1uf.

Ok, I pulled alc transistor out of circuit and like you thought it's worse. I checked the 8v for sag and it's solid. I do not see a diode going to the cap from pin 2 of the ic.

Pc196bd is the board

I replaced the big cap in the power supply just because and the tantalum in front of the relay that is a known one to give problems just because. The radio was working good except for the clipping.

I have not removed the limiter. Only turned up the alc. What should I remove to test if it happens without the limiter? I will also get the board number when I go back into the shop. This radio was virgin. Screws never removed until I got it.

And the sound is low under my voice. Not cutting my voice out.

The relay is not dropping out. I had a brand new nos relay here and popped that in just as a test. Same clipping. Audio is loud and clear on ssb just has this clipping sound with my voice peaks

Ok, I had a new 1uf 50v here so I swapped out c158. Same thing. Clicking with my voice. Really hear it with a whistle. Sounds like clipping

I have a cap kit coming from Klondike so I will swap that one out first and see what happens. Thanks Chris

Is there a mod or fix to that? Part locations and what to try would be a great help. Thanks

Trc457. New filter cap in power supply and the known tantalum cap changed to an electrolytic. No mods. TX audio on SSB the receiving party hears a clicking sound with my voice. I put on a monitor radio with headphones and sure enough it's there. I turned up the alc to see if maybe it was from...

Thank you Chris. I know how much you distance yourself from the mk iv. But for some reason I like the pain. Your tips got me straightened out. Much appreciated.

Thanks for that info. I wonder if I put my probe through a disc cap if that would help. Either way I got it done. Now to decide if I unlock clarifier or leave it stock. Decisions Decisions.

Worked like a charm. Dead on. Sam's manual is a misprint. Thank you.

Thank you. Will give thst a shot. Will report back.
