From time to time I experience power cycling on/off when transmitting using WSJT-X.? I mostly run 6 meters using FT8 & MSK441.? The transmit sequence starts fine and the things will start cycling on and off.? This happens whether the radio is hot after lots of use or cold.? I have not found a relationship to temperature.? Just as a blind shot I added ferrites to the power cable and the CAT control cable.? Wonder if anyone has had a similar experience?

I acquired an Astatic D-104 mic with the T-UP9 base. I wired it up to an eight pin mic connector per the Astatic website directions, however the mic drive is very sensitive. When I apply a little drive, the ALC is over driven. I have to set the drive nearly fully counterclockwise to prevent over driving the mic. If I sneak the drive up slightly, I over drive it. I soldered a 47ohm 1/2 watt resistor on the white audio wire, hoping that would fix the issue, but that didn't help. The mic drive is still nearly fully counterclockwise. I realize the Astatic is a high impedance mic and the '920 is designed for low impedance mics, but I know of many hams who use this mic with their modern rigs. Has anyone had a similar situation? 73, Tom, N8EUI

ERROR MESSAGE ON MY FT-920
My FT-920 displays an ERROR message whenever the mic or key is activated?
I cannot find anything in the instruction manual that address this message?

Re: ERROR MESSAGE ON MY FT-920
Hi Christopher,
I'm not near my FT-920, so I'll just toss the question out there: Are you by chance operating on an amateur radio frequency?

Re: ERROR MESSAGE ON MY FT-920
Tom, Yes on the ham radio frequency(s), all bands/frequencies exhibit? the same ERROR msg. CW or SSB, both modes? Kind regards, Christopher

Re: ERROR MESSAGE ON MY FT-920
Vincenzo,The ERROR msg, has nothing assigned to it. Just ERROR pops up in the display? This only occurs on transmit; CW/SSB both modes come up with the ERROR in the display. Kind regards, Christopher

Re: ERROR MESSAGE ON MY FT-920
Mine does that in AM mode because I don't have that filter installed. Regards,

Re: ERROR MESSAGE ON MY FT-920
Christopher, Apologies for the stupid question. Have you tried to do a full reset of the radio? If not try.

Re: ERROR MESSAGE ON MY FT-920
Christopher,
You get your radio back to default parameters. Maybe there is a setting that you made and forgot which one is.
Let me know if solved with that step

Re: ERROR MESSAGE ON MY FT-920
I performed all of the resets, to no avail; then a hard-reset, still getting the ERROR message...sigh! Not sure where to go from here? The instruction manual provides nothing that I can use in-order to diagnose the problem? My only thought at this juncture, is that there is an issue that can not be resolved, by resets? Suggestions, welcome. Kind regards, Christopher

Re: ERROR MESSAGE ON MY FT-920
The radio receives just fine, but when I try to transmit, an ERROR message shows up in the display, preventing the radio from transmitting.
SSB, or MOX, the ERROR diagnostic message appears. I have performed the various resets suggested in the manual, including the hard-reset.
The battery is good, and no other issues are apparent.
FYI transmitting is in the authorized ham bands. Help! Kind regards, Christopher

Re: ERROR MESSAGE ON MY FT-920
Unfortunately, I have not been able to get the ERROR message resolved. At this point, I am seeking suggestions for YAESU repair tech, and/or company that works on this particular radio. Thank you in advance for your suggestions. Kind regards, Christopher

Greetings,
My 920 will not transmit in DATA-USB. ?It will xmit in all other data modes as well as USB phone. ?It acts like it wants to transmit as the receiver switches off and the 'TRANSMIT' indicator lights but just doesn't make any power. ?I've tried the FSK/AFSK switch and the menu setting for RTTY in upper mode but that doesn't have any affect. ?I've done the hard CPU reset this AM also to no avail. ?Has anyone ran across this?
For anyone interested in AFSK or FSK operation on the 920, .pdf might save some time and explain things. ?I found it helpful... if only my rig would cooperate!
73 es tnx for reading

Duane, My 920 will not transmit in any mode. A message ERROR shows up in the display. It receives just fine, but not xmit. I also did all of the reset(s) including changing the battery...nothing worked? It is a shame, the radio looks brand new, and receives wonderfully! I could use some help also, my only other choice is to sell the radio asis for every I can get. Kind regards, Christopher

Could be a internal tuner issue there bad about it see if it will transmitt with the internal tuner off. But if you really are just done with it lmk how much you want for it I have several and could possibly build one out of 3 radios. Lmk GENE MITCHELL. Kc0mqg
