Re: [DSTAR_DIGITAL] Re: IC-91AD Buzz on 2 meter Transmit
Charles, OK, just wanted to verify. It's hard to diagnose from a distance, but I would suspect a defect in in 91AD B based on the description you have provided.

On 70 cm everything worked fine A to B and B to A. On an IC-2820 with remote antenna same affect when trying to use 91AD B. 73, Charles WB5EXI John D.

Check the D-Star board hasn't come loose inside or has dirty pins 73 Neil. - Original Message - From: CharlesK To: dstar_digital@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, October 19, 2009 7:22 PM Subject: [DSTAR_DIGITAL] Re: IC-91AD Buzz on 2 meter Transmit John, I appreciate any ideas or thoughts or things to check. I also think it may be a problem/defect with the radio, but wanted to check with others just in case there might be some setting in the radio that I might have accidentally done/set that is not reset to factory defaults with the Reset All function. These radios were purchased by the County over a year ago and I am not sure if they were every operated until now. They are probably out of warantee and would require some expenditure of funds to get fixed. 73, Charles WB5EXI --- In dstar_digital@yahoogroups.com, John Hays j...@... wrote: Charles, OK, just wanted to verify.

Re: [DSTAR_DIGITAL] Re: IC-91AD Buzz on 2 meter Transmit
Charles, I don't remember if you said you were programming these radios by hand or using software. If using software, a full reset of the radio wouldn't be a bad idea as you can quickly reload memories. If you have the Icom RS91 software, it should be easy (additional help on my site at http://k7ve.org/site/index.php?option=com_contenttask=viewid=12Itemid=26 ) -- or look at CHIRP http://chirp.danplanet.com/wiki/ On Oct 19, 2009, at 11:22 AM, CharlesK wrote: John, I appreciate any ideas or thoughts or things to check.

Re: [DSTAR_DIGITAL] Re: IC-91AD Buzz on 2 meter Transmit
Try swapping them too?? Strange its only on the one band. My trusty old E90 developed a VFO fault after tightening up the SMA socket, the plastic ribbon had come loose. Removing and refitting solved the problem.

I did take the D-Star board out and re-installed it with no affect. But you do give me a idea, which is to take the D-Star board out and see if the Buzz on 2 meter FM is still present. I will try that the next time I have access to the radio. 73, Charles WB5EXI --- In dstar_digital@yahoogroups.com, Neil barrym...@... wrote: Check the D-Star board hasn't come loose inside or has dirty pins 73 Neil.
