Hi all
After some help to solve a recent problem that has come to light, I have been getting reports of poor modulation from users both local and long distance when I am DX'ing. Set up a radio near by and my mod sounds gritty / distorted on SSB.
I tried adjusting VR11 (SSB ALC) and although it made it a tiny bit less gritty / distored, it didn't really make it much better.
Since the problem, I brought a new stock mic and have also tried a couple of other mics and no difference, I have good swr and have cut / resoldered the connections on both ends of my aerial lead and checked the coax just in case - no short which is good.
What is the best way to track the mod though the radio from the mic to find out what is causing the distortion or is there a known fault i should look at with these?
Thanks
Mark
