Have been out from home for some days now, but I'm back, and have just rewired the Mic. Works fine on all bands except 15 and 10 meters. It's not so bad on 15 meters, but 10 meter is really bad. I know my antenna is out of tune on 10 meters, but it's not even supported on 12, 17 and 6 meters, and there are no problems there.

Have tried ferrite bead on the mic cable, but does not seem to make any difference.

I had terrible RFI problems until I put heavy ferrites on my F3K front panel connected mic.

Emne: Re: [Flexradio] RFI on 10 meter

Check the wiring on the mic cable. If it is a Heil cable, the MIC- and ground may be bonded (connected) together (they should not be connected) and the ground/cable shield may not be connected to the shell of the 8-pin Foster connector (which it should).


Then try a ferrite bead on the mic cable.

Get great reports on audio on all bands, (haven't tested 6 meter yet, since I don't have an antenna for this band), but on 10 meter they complain about really bad RF in the audio. What can be the cause, and what can I do about it?
