I've finally tracked down the culprit , it wasn't the radio or the coax . It was the MH-1B8 stock mic . I went with Shadetree's advice , hooked my dummy load up to FT-757GXII , and listened on my FT-897D using my headphones ... and my MH-1B8 stock mic had dirty contacts . When I bought the radio...

I guess that my confusion is coming from the fact that I've been using this same coax and antenna for at least 10/12 years without any issues. And now all of a sudden I'm being told that I have RF in my audio. I'm always on 40 meters, and on LSB , but I've tried different radios with the same...

To answer a few questions. I was talking on my Yaesu FT-757GXII , using it's stock mic , with a Carolina Windom antenna. I am using a LDG Z-11 Pro automatic antenna tuner, so I shouldn't be having any SWR problems. I was on LSB talking on a 40 meter net. But checking out my coax I found a few...

It was RF in my audio ... I miss quoted him, and I fixed it in the post.

Hi everyone , I just tried to check into a Net on 40 meters and the Net controller told me that he was hearing some RF in my audio . What I was wondering is, exactly what kind of damage can your radios get from keying up with RF in your audio ? Keep in mind that, no I'm not going to keep trying...

Hi everyone, I know that I can't be the only person that's had to deal with this issue. But I haven't been able to find a way to fix the problem without picking up and moving to a new house. Everyday I get between 8 - 9 pounds of static noise on my radio. But it stops every night between 11 -...

That's cool, I'm going to be using it in the mobile so that would definitely be a help. Thanks for replying guys.

Hi everyone, I bought this Icom IC290a 2 meter all mode radio a little while ago . The radio has sideband in it , but it doesn't have tones for accessing the repeaters that use tones . So I bought a tone board to install in it . When I opened it up, I found this little board...

Did I post this in the wrong section ?

I have a Swan Cubic 100MXA that I'm trying to wire a Cobra (coffin styled) stock mic to . If you're not familiar with the radio , it has the phono jack styled microphone jack . I've tried multiple wiring combinations with no luck . This mic has 5 wires and their colors are : Red White Shield...

That's what I figured, but I thought I'd ask first just to make sure . Thanks Captain Kilowatt .

I've been looking at frequency counters online, and I've noticed that a lot of them don't have their BNC alligator clip test leads ... and I was wondering, if I buy a replacement test lead for whatever frequency counter I buy , will any BNC test lead work, or will I only be able to use brands...

I definitely have a radio here that would make for a great test subject ... lol. I bought a Galaxy 979 a few years ago at one of the local thrift stores ... and it's been modified so much that it's way out in left field someplace . I can hear it through channel bleed over , but I can't locate...

Thank you Hurricane, that's a lot of help too.

Thank you Pez for the list that you gave me . Thanks to your list I've been able to get an idea as to what I should be looking for , and I've been finding some pretty nice equipment at affordable prices . All of you have been a great help in one way or another , and I greatly appreciate all of...

Looking at those , they aren't looking very affordable to the "Average Guy" . I'm looking for something around $100 for working on my own personal equipment , which is usually older . So do you have any affordable examples to offer ?

Hi everyone, I've been in the radio hobby for most of my life (40 plus years), both CB & Ham radio ... and finding a good repair service these days is becoming harder & harder to find . That is, without shipping my stuff out , and I am definitely not a fan of trusting any of my equipment to any...

Thanks Dopple, I thought that something like that might be the case. I don't mind buying the CAT cable for my 897 , but I already have the one for the 757 and figured I'd see if it would work with the 897 before buying another cable .

Hi everyone, I have a Yaesu FT-757GXII which has it's CAT cable , and a Yaesu FT-897d that doesn't have a CAT cable . What I'm wondering is will the FT-757's CAT cable match up , and work with the FT-897d , or do they each have their own CAT cable specific to the model...

So I know that this thread is old with the last post being back in 2018 . But there was never an answer to the original question ... did anyone ever find out how 262NagantRadios was doing ?
