FT 857 Audio
I have a FT 857 with superb audio on FM but with very toppy audio on SSB.
Furthermore, I'm unable to get it to modulate the output (on SSB) beyond approx 70 watts - and that's with an uncomfortable level of voice volume. I have two other transceivers that have no problem fully driving the output to 100w at a comfortable level of voice. Measurements have been done with a calibrated power meter and dummy load. My SSB mic gain control is set at 60 - to go beyond that introduces a muffling effect. My speech processor is set at 40 and an increase on that causes further deterioration in the audio quality. I have the LPF enabled to emphasise the lower frequencies. The DSP optional unit is fitted. Is there anyone out there who has had similar problems and found a cure? Would appreciate the advice!
