I have a Kenwood 440TS AT modded for 11 meters.
I use the MC60A desk preamp mic.

Im wanting to add an echo board/box to the radio and having problems.
3 different echo boards all work on cb radios but not this Kenwood 440.

So I have a small bot to put the echo board in.
I added an 8 pin mic jack to the box and a wired 8 pin mic plug straight through pin for pin.

I removed pin 1 audio and put the input echo cable on pin 1 and shield to ground.

The removed wire pin 1 added the the out of the echo board and then ground.

Echo board grnd and 12v+ wired.

turn on echo board and the radio goes crazy audio wise with bad squeal.

I tried 3 different type echo boards and the same problem.

Also tried the kenwood hand mic and same results.

Has anyone tried to add an echo board to the 440ts external.

I tried all kind of ways and still not working.

I take the same boards and put in a 4 pin box wired input and output and power.

tried on a cobra 29ltd and works great.

Am I doing something wrong on the kenwood?

I have installed over 50 echo boards on cb radios with no problem but the Kenwood big problem in Little China LOL

thanks for any help
