Re: I7SWX PTT Pop Mute

 

Hi Jerry,

I recently added the tx mod to my latest Bitx40 (3rd).? So far of all the tx pop mods, this one has produced the best results.?

The noise i refer to is a screech or loud click / pop when tx is turned on.
I tried the ctt which used a 2n3904 and a 2n7000fet - it worked but would occasionally cause a tx hang.

My best results, which remove nearly all the noise is the circuit above and the add on relay.
The relay mod uses a new relay and a ?set of contacts which open the speaker when tx is activated.

I use the voltage from the led rx/tx mod... I just tapped in to the red led - when it goes red it keys my relay.
I found by using both mods it cut the pop dramatically on both when keying and unkeying the tx.

The outgoing carrier noise is not affected...

Joe,

Please tell us a bit more about what you figured out.

Does this cure the pop in the headphones when you press PTT??
What I would call "tx noise" is the brief outgoing carrier, which is a totally different issue.
If this fix addresses the outgoing carrier issue, please show us where to find the fix.
?
What other circuits did you try?
In what way did this solution work better?
What is the relay mod?

A full description of what you did would be helpful to many here.

Jerry

I also tried your circuit for the tx noise.
It works very well.
I have tried several but this had the best results.
I use it in conjunction with a relay mod.
