Re: FT847 160 and 80 MHz

 

开云体育

Good morning Andy, Denis and others. I have a bit the bullet and decided to copy my memories and manually re-write them. I reset the radio. Using menu, 35 as the manual suggests. And Not turning the radio on holding buttons as you would on other radios. The outcome is it all works as it should now on 160m 80m and 4m.?

One thing I will say what I do remember is when I was setting the radio up, it was behaving a bit strange on some menus, but the radio is unfamiliar to me so I wasn’t sure and another thing I thought was strange was the tuner was displayed on the screen. I didn’t know if it was permanent or whether it shouldn’t be there, but it turns out to have disappeared now, and things have gone right.?

Next step is to do some mods on it. Is there any suggestions?

All the best guys, hope this helps somebody from my experience.?

I don't think it is possible to do a partial reset to retain memories. You can do a reset to delete memories, but retain settings, but not the other way around.
Time to get out a pencil and paper and note down memories methinks.

Hi Andy,

I haven’t done a reset yet, but I wanted to do a partial reset, but I’m not sure how to do that just yet as I want to keep the memories I have just put in manually. Thanks for your advice.

I did wonder if maybe if this was a Japanese or an American import and that’s why it didn’t transmit and went out of band error. that was my thoughts!!! Good shout on the TX out of band, but I did check every single setting and could not find anything associated with anything like that. But you never know?

Hi Jeff,?
normally shows error when trying to tx out of band as you say.?
Have you done a reset, that quite often cures things.?
Power off, FAST and LOCK? held in, power on. See if that cures it.
It may be set for duplex to an out of band tx frequency.

Re: Distorted audio signal on shortwave (rx!)

 

I have always used an extension speaker with my 847, far bettwer quality.
Leighton. GW3FSP.


Re: Distorted audio signal on shortwave (rx!)

I found the solution:
the internal speaker is "a kind of" defect.
By pluging in an external speaker, no distortions are there.

Thank you all for helping me.

I have another problem with that trcv but I will open a new thread if I find nothing in the archive...

I will record a video and upload it to youtube. Then I share the link here...

It takes a couple of days since I am in vacation now.

@Andy, I speak about low frequencies (ca. 300 ... 800 Hz) and not low volume.
The effect can be shown by putting a sound generator at the input of the TDA and wobble the frequency then...

I'll be back after my holidays...

Make a short video and post it on YouTube as private for those with a link so we can all see the issue.

When you say "at low audio frequencies", do you mean low frequencies, or low AF Gain on front panel?

Re: Discriminator Meter Off Center

 

Max,
Yes, I was looking at one of those Kuhne electronic QH40A Cyrstal heaters something like you have. I was worried about the trimmer also being a problem,? so thought kill 2 birds with one stone on the TCXO. Sure I will do one or the other, I can get a TCXO for $12 total so that would be the cheapest route.


Re: Discriminator Meter Off Center

Max Donoghue
 

I installed one of these on X1001 crystal



Works quite well.

Max


Re: Discriminator Meter Off Center

 

Thanks, that did the trick changed L 26-28 and H 33-36. Rig if on freq adjusted it on UHF with my IFR-1200S so within about 10hz. The variable not the best. Think I will put in a TCXO next.

I had the same problem. I had to go into the service menu and adjust the DISC-L and DISC-H settings. Look in the files section.
