CAT Question
I recently picked up a MFJ-929 tuner to use with my IC-706. It came with the cable for my FT-857 so I was going to use it instead of my YT-100. I currently use a USB to CAT cable to control the rig

Re: AM Broadcast Stations Distorted
Menu #46 selects low frequency cutoff.? Menu #47 selects high frequency cutoff.
Or, multifunction row "p", mash and hold the DBF softkey.

Re: AM Broadcast Stations Distorted
Agreed on the difference it made.? ?I think I'll try turning it on and off in various modes to see its effects.
Another learning moment.

Re: AM Broadcast Stations Distorted
It was posted in small print & I overlooked it. Im surprised the AGC Made that much difference.
Thanks.

Re: AM Broadcast Stations Distorted
Sorry i thought it was posted.?
Short version is the AGC was turned off and RF gain needed adjustment. Probably most of the problem was related to the AGC being off.

Re: AM Broadcast Stations Distorted
What was the solution? I didsn¡¯t see it on here.
I had the opposite problem when my mode mysteriously changed to AM while I was on FM.

Re: AM Broadcast Stations Distorted
Good catch! ? It was off.
That improved signal even more than messing with RF Gain knob.
Thanks to all for the teaching moment.

Re: AM Broadcast Stations Distorted - Found IT!
Gents,
Thanks so much for your suggestions. ??

Re: 857 stopped powering up; NOT a 12v source issue
Jason,
I've had this with mine as well.? One instance was a sketchy fuseholder (the inrush current I-squared-R loss dropped the input voltage below 11.5VDC). Was the car running and VDC > 13 VDC at

Re: AM Broadcast Stations Distorted
Dennis,
Check the receive bandwidth - AM broadcasts are often "wider" than SSB settings.? If I listen to AM I jack the low limit to 200 hz, and the high limit to 5khz.

Re: AM Broadcast Stations Distorted
I'm saying that the 1070 AM staion is low and distorted as are three others local to? San Diego.
I didn't think of non-broadcast AM.? I'll try it.

Re: AM Broadcast Stations Distorted
1070 kHz is on the AM band Los Angeles.
Is it a typo or you are definitely saying 1070 is not on AM?
Try listening to WWV on 5, 10, 15 or 20 MHZ on SSB and AM. Is the AM signal clean? If so, then

Not a silly question, but not AM for sure.? ?1070 KNX in LA for example.

Re: AM Broadcast Stations Distorted
What frequencies are programmed into the radio, or what are the frequencies in MHZ are you trying to listen to?
