Distorted audio signal on shortwave (rx!)


 

Hi all,

I have noticed on my "new" FT-847 that the receive audio signal on
shortwave is distorted at low audio frequencies. I suspect that the
TDA2003H has a defect. At the input pin the signal still looks good, but
at the output (also at the speaker jack) it is distorted. Does anyone
know the problem? The capacitors in this area look good.

Also, the attenuator does not work on shortwave. If you press the
button, the audio signal crackles.

Bad shopping?

Shortwave? Do you mean HF, first try an external speaker.

Andrew?

Remember AM shortwave broadcast station require a wider filter 6 KHz

...as I wrote "also at the speaker jack"

It is the same with an external speaker.

Yes, I mean regular SSB on hf bands ...

When you say "at low audio frequencies", do you mean low frequencies, or low AF Gain on front panel?

I think there may be a translation problem.

Can I please inject a suggestion.....?

Make a short video and post it on YouTube as private for those with a link so we can all see the issue.

? Failing that I will create a guest account on my FTP server and upload it there!

@Spence: well great Idea!
I will record a video and upload it to youtube. Then I share the link here...

It takes a couple of days since I am in vacation now.

@Andy, I speak about low frequencies (ca. 300 ... 800 Hz) and not low volume.
The effect can be shown by putting a sound generator at the input of the TDA and wobble the frequency then...

I'll be back after my holidays...

I found the solution:
the internal speaker is "a kind of" defect.
By pluging in an external speaker, no distortions are there.

Thank you all for helping me.

I have another problem with that trcv but I will open a new thread if I find nothing in the archive...
