The fact that you have no discernible distortion into a dummy load indicates that RF is being introduced into the when you feed your antenna.ĭoes it occur on all frequencies?I purchased a Yaesu FT about 2 years ago and never had the chance to fully set it up. Where is your Palstar tuner? In the shack? Is it close to the ? Yaesu FT 920 with audio distortion Since then, I have changed to an SGC outside the house which feeds my rain gutter for the antenna and about fifty feet of ohm coax coming into the shack. However, if I moved around in frequency as in a contest and the SWR increased more than 2. When operating close to the frequency that had been adjusted for lowest SWR, there was no problem with RF on the signal. Michal, Two or three years ago when I first got theI was using an off-center fed dipole using open air feedline with an external tuner in the shack.

Now, into a dummy load, the voice sounds fine with moni on. When I turn the moni feature off, I still hear a little fuzzy voice in the background. KA5SOct 5, Cortland, On an antenna, with the monitor feature, I hear my voice a little fuzzy but not bad in the headphones. How about with monitor on and a dummy load instead of an antenna? Cortland KA5S. WA6RZOct 5, What do you hear with Monitor turned on? You might need headphones. Anybody experience this or have any suggestions? Michal WA6RZ. Interestingly, I am told my CW signal is clean. Finally, this happens with both my antennas. I have also tried the radio with all accessories removed including the tuner. I also turned down the mic gain to nothing and turned off the compression and still had distortion. I have tried a different microphone and it did not help. Hopefully this could be added to V3 in near future.QRZ Forums. Some downward expanders have a range setting, thatallows you to set the maximum amount of reduction or attenuation, so it never cuts the signal off entirely. It’s much easier to dial in how fast the effect reacts to level changes with intuitive controls. Expanders provide more control than gates. expanders tend to sound more natural than gates because they do not completely turn off the signal.

Expanders are subtle and smooth sounding they fade levels rather than mute them. Noise gates are aggressive and abruptly cut off the sound when the signal drops below the threshold.

And correct the noise gate is not the same thing they are 2 entirely different concepts.ĭifference between a “gate” and an “expander” is the degree of level reduction that is applied.
