Re: plugging mic in causes the ubitx V6 to go into transmit mode
|
John ,
The shipped Baofeng mics are next to worthless in the context of the V6 rig. There was a thread talking about use of a Pro Com amplified CB mic which provided reliable operation and far better audio vs the Baofeng. I purchased one and it works very ?well.? ?I have since received many reports about its excellent ?audio. ? I¡¯ve worked a number of European stations using the new mic and a simple 20 meter wire vertical ground plane antenna.? Bitx V6 is only about 5-6 watts at 20 meters. I¡¯d recommend setting aside the Baofeng . Best wishes for success in your endeavor.

I was fooled with a plug once that is the same used on the Baofeng microphone until I realized I was not pushing the mic plug in all the way. Quick fix.

So, start with the basics. Read the voltage on the push to talk pin of the jack, and see what happens to it when you plug that mic in.
If it goes to zero, you are shorting it out somehow.
Proceed methodically and systematically from that point to find out where it got shorted to ground. ?
This is regular old ham radio, a chance to learn and practice techniques of figuring things out

?just got my uBitx V6 assembled, been listening to the receiver on 40m ,it seem to be OK.? decided to check transmitter out, when I plug in the Baofeng mic the radio goes into transmit. after doing some searching on the messages I see there are a lot of issues with the mic and transmitter.? any one know of a message number I need to read.? the ones I read lean toward RF in the shack, right now I have a dummy load on, still happens, I do have a long power cord from a linear power supply, 30".? ?I have not done any trouble shooting yet, that is next, I am just hoping to get lucky and some one will post my solution.... I got a feeling it does not work that way.
