- MC85.2
-
- In summary, (2) and (3) are
- necessary but (1) is a MUST. These mods cured completely all
- the RF feedback problems that one can have with the MC-85.
- Before closing the microphone's base cover, I added a few
- more mods. I hope they are clear from the modified scheme
- and the notes. (Notice that all these mods can be done
- without having to remove the printed circuit board.) A
- similar thing happened wtih the PC1-A phone patch...started
- because of a "serious" problem and ended with extra "very
- helpful" mods.
- The "serious" problem was that no matter how loud I put the
- RX gain control, there was never enough audio to the
- telephone line, and not only that, the audio was distorted!
- (See IRI of April, 1987, Issue No. 64, Page K64, where C.M.
- Luchessa WN6O, suffers a similar problem and asks: "Any
- remedial information will be appreciated".) The problem was
- solved by changing D5 and D6 (originally they were clipping
- the audio at 0.7 volts). I made the change by putting 3
- silicon diodes on each leg, so now the clipping is done above
- 2 volts, and not at 0.7 volts, R11 was changed from 27 to 10
- ohms. Again, before closing the patch's cover, I added a few
- more mods.
