Hi there,

i'm suffering from a CW chirp with my old ft-1000mp,
it seems to be a DC voltage problem.... no RF feedback problem.

When i use 13.8V it seems to start from around 40w output chirping and first dots and dashes also not perfect....,
when i use 15.8V (measured end of the DC-cable) than it's started from 80-85W output.
On 13.8V with  80W ouput my radio backlights seems to flicker slightly.

My voltage drop from my DC-cable is only 0.2V,do i have to suspect the DC-connector.....?
Yes i know i have to measure inside the radio at the connector.....still have to do it because have 
to dissamble a lot to get the radio out.

I can recall this problems occur in the past with DC-versions but can't find the right info in the archives.

Anyone who's solved or experienced the same DC-problems.

Kind regards Peter ON7BJ,OP7B.
