FT-100D distorted , muffled modulation

[2la547]

Just purchased a Yaesu FT-100D . Everything on the the radio seems to work fine , output power is within spec. and is dead on frequency . 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 settings back to factory and also tried to adjust settings in both menus with no change to the sound .
I've tried adjusting the following :
16 DSP mic eq
21 HF TX PO
25 MIC Gain
27 COMP Level
F51 AM Carrier
Anything I,m missing or somone have had this problem before . Any advice would be helpful .
Thanks in advance and 73

Muffled modulation in what mode? AM?

 

[2la547]

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

I got email last month that Yahoo was shutting down their "Groups" in December and was no longer taking new posts. I know that the groups that I'm subscribed to no longer have new info.

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 .

I seem to remember something about moving the group. I'll try to find it.

Check these maybe someone has jacked with the ALC settings in the software.

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.

I do my utmost best to talk my friends out of buying any Yaesu transceiver whenever possible but sometimes they don't listen.I love my Yaesu Rotor but I have sworn off any radios a long time ago after having so many with so many issues that I spent lots of money on & they still were not fixed. YAESU = Yet Another Excuse Simply Useless.

ICOM = I Can Only Monitor and because I run QRO ICOM station it’s my signal report that I monitor and that is my goal.It’s great being a Big Dog.
