I am working on a static 575-M6 with the green board. When I move the tone slider to 0, I don't notice any hint of bass. However, as soon as I start moving the slider up, I notice that the treble becomes stronger. I changed the two 4.7 µF electrolytic capacitors, thinking that they might be...
Looking for input if adding this with my Heil PR-781 mic would make up for the low audio from my Icom 746 non-pro

Today, I dropped off my two ICOM radios, the 7300 and the 746, to recalibrate the S meter and to fine-tune the receive and power meters. I asked the technician if he could check the ALC on the 7300. He responded that nobody uses ALC anymore. Did I miss something over the last five years, or is...
Time to experiment again using a Myantenna 40-10 56.1 and a 1.1 current choke. The only bands of interest are 40, 20, and 15 meters. The antenna will be used in an inverted V with the apex 30 ft above ground. I'm trying to find out what size coax jumper to use as the counterpoise between the...

Has anyone here performed the capacitor mod using a tantalum capacitor to increase the average power on SSB? The radio typically only operates at 30 to 40 watts. The mod is supposed to increase it. This modification was done by SP3RNZ. I'm trying to hear the pros and cons.

I'm trying to do a mod to my ICOM 746, a small tight spot needs to parallel a 4.7k resistor to R1087. What temp setting would be a starting point to avoid damage
I need some help or advice. I have a Heil IC-Mic for my non-pro Icom 746, which has low-gain preamps. It only has options for treble (0 or +) and bass (-). My issue is that there’s a slight muffled sound when I speak. I've tried moving farther away from the mic, but that didn't help. If I...
Is this normal behavior, even though I have the equipment properly grounded? I checked with a continuity meter, and everything looks good. However, I notice that while checking the SWR and power settings on my Autek WM-1 meter, the SWR decreases when I touch the metal case or the aluminum box...
