Found a cure for this defect. I have disabled existing LM386 audio amp and used TDA2822 amp module. I took audio input from IC socket pin 3 without any surgery. Now audio is good. The only issue is slightly lower audio level and yet to find ?space for audio module inside cabinet.

I tried both mods.
Not much improvements in audio quality.
I observed 59++ signals doing good with little distortion. Signals below 58 are heavily distorted.
?I have some small TDA2822 and LM 1875 amp modules in my junk. If I want use them as audio amp bypassing LM386, from where I take audio input?.

Hello Praba,
?
Two possible mods might help:
1 - Add a 10uF capacitor across C75.? If electrolytic, the + goes to pin 1. (see 9.2.2 in the datasheet)
2 - Add the bass boost circuit described in the TI LM386 datasheet section 9.2.5.

The attached is Rx audio of my ubitx v6.1. Audio is too chirpy and unpleasant to hear. But Tx audio is good as per other hams reports. I tried several bfo adjustments. Anyone help me to rectify the issue.
