Check the mic cabling. The cable shield needs to connect to the shield and pin 5 of the 8-pin foster connector.
The mic (-) wire needs to be on pin 7 of the 8-pin foster connector and NOT connected to the mic cable shield or pin 5. Obviously the mic (+) needs to be on pin 8 and PTT on pin 6. -Tim -----Original Message----- From: flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz [mailto:flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz] On Behalf Of Richard Lawn Sent: Wednesday, December 22, 2010 10:15 AM To: flexradio@flex-radio.biz Subject: [Flexradio] SSB Audio Issues I've not been happy with the audio since acquiring my Flex 5K. I've had reports of distortion, noise and serious echo. I'm using Yaesu's MD-1 mic. I've played with the settings and spoken to another user trying to model his settings in the audio section. I'm fiarly convinced I'm doing something wrong. By the way PSK and CW work just fine. Any suggestions of what might be set up wrong....I've hardly made any SSB contacts since first setting the radio up months ago.
