LSB problems with IC706MKII
Once again.
The 706 DOES NOT have BFO or CARRIER oscillator xtals. The carrier oscillator signal is generated by a DDS chip with it's frequency controlled by the micro-processor referenced to the 60 MHz oscillator. There is NO adjustment for the carrier oscillator frequency. Try a reset of the radio and see if it -- Clif Holland, KA5IPF AVVid Authorized Kenwood and Icom Service Center 816 W Shady Grove Rd Irving, TX 75060 www.avvid.com 1-800-214-5779 972-870-0630 (Local) "Doug Smith W9WI" wrote in message ... chafik CN8JV wrote: On all bands,I hardly get half output power on LSB, while on the contrary , I get all available output power on USB. About the modulation: the lower frequencies of my voice are cut off, which produces bad modulation. On recieve: On LSB,the signal level is not as strong as on USB, and some frequency components of the audio are cut off; the same symptoms appear when recieving Brodcast stations (AM) on LSB. Fortunatly,I can fix this annoying problem by rotating the IF shift knob counterclockwise(about +800 or 1000HZ), so the the recieved signal's level geos better along with the audio quality. ... I dont know if the LSB's BFO is off frequency, or that the FI4 filter (which select the wanted SSB) is not realy centered on 9.011.5 MHZ. I think the first is true - the LSB BFO is off-frequency. If the filter was not really centered on 9011.5 then USB would have problems too. I think you have a broken crystal. (I don't have a 706 so I can't tell you *which* crystal) I don't think any alignment problem can cause it to be that far off-frequency. -- Doug Smith W9WI Pleasant View (Nashville), TN EM66 http://www.w9wi.com |
