From: BVARC <[email protected]> On Behalf Of David F. Reed via BVARC Sent: Tuesday, October 12, 2021 2:56 PM To: BRAZOS VALLEY AMATEUR RADIO CLUB <[email protected]> Cc: David F. Reed <[email protected]> Subject: [BVARC] My low audio on 2 m. On the noon 2m net recently (and again today), net control kindly advised me that my audio level was low (full quieting into repeater, but very low audio); I appreciate the feedback, as if your friends don't tell you, who will? Besides, we all like to operate a good sounding station, so such feedback is important. I was operating an old Yaesu FT-2400; the mic is an MH-27. In doing a bit of research, low audio is a common enough problem due to 1 or more of 3 capacitors in the MH-27 mic failing (common problem with electrolytic capacitors of that era; a batch of bad ones got into a huge number of consumer electronics). There is even a you-tube video or two on how to replace them! Now I get to my question; is there a competent repair service anyone can refer me to to get this fixed, as I am no longer competent to the task. Thanks in advance, and for the friendly feedback! 73 de W5SV - David F. Reed
