Default Magnum Delta Force distorted SSB modulation when cold.

"Julian" wrote in
ups.com:

My radio does not like low temperature. When cold (e.g. less than 50
deg. F), the SSB modulation is bad. Its a sort of brumming noise
superimposed on the audio. Strange, if I change to AM or FM, the
modulation is good, under same low temperature conditions. So, it
seems that the microphone is OK.

What I do now is to heat the radio using a hair drier until the SSB
modulation is OK. In a cold room, I need to do this every 15 minutes
or so.

Any ideas of what causes this, or how to fix it?

Thanks,

Julian



Yes, I've heard of this problem before. You're too friggen stupid to own
a radio like that, so just throw it in the dumpster before the FCC fines
your retarded ass.
