Hello to all with a question.
Have an SB-401 that seems to have a new problem.
A station I was talking to last night says that he hears hum in SSB audio.
Voice is not distorted but hum can be heard.
I dead keyed the mic and hum was in signal.
I shorted mic connector on rig w/o mic and other station could still hear
hum.
I can not see it on my scope but I do hear a hum in the transformer area.
and it gets more pronounced in CW keydown.
No load I am at 400 on meter as I should be and with load I drop down to
about 380.
I am getting full output as far as RF is concerned and good clear audio.
Any ideas other than caps in power supply going bad?
Could it be the transformer or do they all make noise?
Thanks in advance.
