Re: GEN mode problem


 

开云体育

Hi Jose,

When on receive and the IF shift and width controls are centered, does the receiver white noise have a similar pitch on LSB & USB? If not can the IF shift control be set to a point where the white noise does have a similar pitch on LSB & USB?

?

When the current goes up in USB do the IF width and/or IF shift controls have any effect on the problem?

?

Does the FT-980 have AM filters installed?

Hi guys,

?I have measured the output frequency in this abnormal mode that my FT980.

?I remind you of the problem: "In the GEN mode, when the USB is activated, the current (uo to10 A) and power output of the radio are high, even without modulating the microphone. In LSB it does not happen".

?Well, I measured all frequencies at the output of the 50 ohm dummy load, both OM and many others (1.8, 3.7, 6.1, 7.1, 8.1 10.1, 12.1, 14.1, 18.1, 20.1, 21.1, 24.9, 26.1, 28.5 and 29.8 MHz ). In all of them, the output frequency is the same as that shown on the display.

?In LSB mode there is no current and output. In AM is, depending on the position of the DRIVE control.

Hello Gang,

?

Maybe I misunderstood the question but The came from the factory to able to just receive in GEN mode.? Yaesu and others had ways to get the 980 to transmit on GEN.? I bought a FT-980 that transmitted on GEN and I used that on 60 meters.? I had the separte channels? in memories so all I had to do was turn on the rig and hit a memory button.? Worked great until others got 60 meter (5 mhz) and could use other modes and frequencies.? Cheating on power was obvious as I heard stations on m7 80 meter half loop but several stations always got better signals than I did.? I worked 21 DXCC entities plus 41 states including KH6 and KL7.
