I have for sale? a WGA TR-2000 headset for Yaesu radios that use a RJ-45 8 pin mic plug like the FT857.? The plastic tab has broken off the mic plug, but it seems to stay in the mic jack ok anyways.? You can always replace the mic plug if you like.? Great way to operate SSB hands free using VOX while contesting.? Due to the mic plug I am reducing the price accordingly and asking $35 shipped.

I can take paypal/check/MO.

Are we talking audio high frequency too bright or are we talking off frequency?
It could be either. There could be a TX shift that is not zero beat with the person he is talking to.
Or he tunes where the other station sounds lower putting him sounding higher.
If dialing in the a "channel" even frequency the radio could be off.
Audio or RF? I am not sure which we are talking about.

I believe there is also a tx band pass filter in the menu.? Set it to low pass and see how that does.?

On my mic (a MH-31 stock mic for the FT857) there is a switch "1" or "2" on the back of the mic, which changes the sensitivity to high, or low, audio frequencies.
I don't know if the MH-59 is the same.? The normal position for the male voice is for better low-frequency sensitivity.

Good luck,
??? cheers,

Too high in tone/pitch in either mode?
Both modes, both LSB and USB "high"? Hmm.

I am not aware, and stand to be corrected, of a setting for that.

Just did some word searches in three editions of the operator manual. I see no control/menu/setting that would appear to adjust TX _audio_ in such a fashion.

To me, at a distance with no further information, it sounds like tuning.

Perhaps the Clarifier or RIT, Receive Incremental Tuning is engaged.

When this kind of thing is overlooked one may tune to other stations ("net", "zero beat") yet be transmitting elsewhere, perhaps higher.

1. Ask, possibly before you make changes, if others may tune to your signal, to reduce said undesired high pitch. If they can, then 2. Check your own settings to determine if the CLAR (RIT) is engaged

One might tackle #2 directly, and in any event. However it's fun to understand more.

All I can think of from here.

All the best, John VA7OTC

Re: Noise floor going into a 50 ohm load #noice

 

Justin,

the noise floor into a 50 Ohm resistor at room temperature into a 50 Ohm system should be -174 dBm/Hz.? If your rig has a noise figure of 10 dB (this is a common value with pre-amp on at 50 MHz) you should not be able to listen to the noise of a 50 Ohm resistor, as your noise floor, just by the rig is -164 dBm/Hz.? So adding the 50 Ohm or not should not change the noise you listen to. There is much more cmoplication?in detail, but this is a good first guess.

Re: Main Tuning Knob Setscrew size

had mine just repaired some time back and sent the unit back to my tech here, he sent for the part from YAESU PARTS and it took 2 weeks to do, my tech replaced the digital display, and apparently, they forgot to put it the set screw back on the radio. Great ham friend to many here DU1EIB is our service tech on parts and repairs and has 2 techs here
Re: Main Tuning Knob Setscrew size

 

Thank you for checking.? Yes, went to a HW store after work and picked up a set of small (and not so small) hex keys, 1.5mm worked. (Smallest I had before trip to the store was 2mm).??

My 857D's main tuning knob fell off the shaft.? Looks like the set screw loosened just enough for it to slide off.? Anyone know the set screw size and tool size to tighten it?? My smallest metric bike hex wrench appears to be slightly too large.

(didn't? find the answer in the archives.? The rotary encoder and shaft are fine, just the set screw and knob are loose)

Thanks & 73 Steve KS1G
