Got my XV50 integrated into the Intergalactic Roving Batttle Jitney (TM) yesterday, and I'm QRV with 400 watts .. K2 feeding XV50 feeding TE Systems amp. I got a hold of a buddy of mine about 30 miles away for some on-air testing while I diddled around with SSBA/C settings.
Problem is if I enable *any* level of compression, the XV "buzzes" on voice peaks and my signal sounds crappy. Best results were with SSBA=3 and SSBC=1-1 (using an MD-2 desk mike). Evidently some of the RF is making it's way back inside the XV. Cabling is all good, shielded cable to key the amp/Accuvolt, normal shielded auxbus cable. Even with the 1-1 setting I get the buzzing whenever I drive the amp much above 300W. Anyone else seen this and/or have any suggestions? I'll be setting up 144 and 222 this evening, but they don't have quite the power capability of my 6M station .. I'll report in the next day or two whether they show the same behaviour .. de john/w1rt getting ready for the sprint season .. 144 is on april 4th! _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
