Re: [Drakelist] Distortion of T-4XB SSB

2014-02-22 Thread Guy Giacopuzzi
Change mikes first; that's easy and non-invasive, and often a 
cause...also, look at the possibility of overdriving.  Is the CW signal 
clean?  If the aforementioned are good, then it's somewhere in the 
audio/ssb circuits, which admittedly is a large area...

Went to check into a SSB net yesterday and I was told my audio was 
distorted. What could be the problem. I've never used SSB before



Thanks and 73's .

It could be a lot of things. Without more detail about the nature 
of the distortion its hard to tell.  You may be able to monitor your 
signals on your own receiver. Listen on headphones and see what you 
are getting. Also, do you have an oscilloscope capable of working at 
the transmitted frequency?  If so the wave form can tell you a lot.
Post more detail and we will analyze the problem. Also, get more 
signal reports, maybe the fellow complaining has a bad receiver.
