Poor AUDIO from VX-7R


 

It has been several years since I used my VX-7R, and when I turned it on the AUDIO was very "thin" (no bass component) compared to my VX-8R and VX-2R handhelds.

Is this a feature of the VX-7R, or is it a fault which is repairable ?

Thanks? Gordon VE3JSJ


 

Hi Gordon, If it works OK on wide FM (88 to 108 Mhz) it is likely the filter sold as eBay item?171828786666. The Kenwood TS-2000 has a similar problem with the original filters failing.

Another ham has diagnsed the same problemas probably the filter, maybe the speaker

Easiest test for the speaker would be to use the VX-7 to listen to the FM broadcast band (88 to 108 Mhz). The FM broadcast band uses a different filter than narrow band Ham FM.
