Hello; I've exhausted my capability to correct the problem of feedback
through the mike on 80meters when using more than 50 watts of power. I have
tried adjustments on mike and can overcome feedback when positioning the
mike gain at about 9 o'clock or less and alc meter shows little or nothing
and PO meter is no longer accurate. I tried by passing (disable) tuner and
still able to transmit with 1:0 or less SWR. Still the effect on the
microphone and unable to increase power beyond 60 watts. Tried manual tuner
and no difference. Tunes OK but mike feedback still a problem. Re-grounded
unit and new balun. All looks OK, but not on 80 meters. Problem does not
occur on other bands except when using the Ameritron 811H amp with manual
tuner (3k Roller Inductor) I cannot get the power to the antenna from the
amplifier and load and plate adjustments must be retuned each time I use
amplifier.
Too much text, I apologize. But I've studied help sites on internet for
1000mp mk V owners as well as read the manual many times and still have the
mike problem on 80 meters with more than 50 or 60 watts . Wonder if anyone
has had this problem and how it was solved? Thanks much
