Ham Radio . As mentioned in the Yahoo FT-950 group the 094 EQ 2 Freq does not go below 700Hz on my and other's FT-950's. Proc level: 20. Be sure to read the chapter "Parametric Microphone Equalizer" in your YAESU transceiver operating manual. We have notched some low end out by setting the transmit bandwidth in the beginning then with the EQ, we reduced some low end (menu 091) and this is always a major problem. A Parametric EQ usually has only 3 filters. Read the operating manual, especially on page 32, and then try out the many available bandwidths and equalization possibilities. You may prefer 300 here) To use any dynamic element on these phantom-powered inputs (which should NEVER be applied to the mic input of a radio transmitter, IMHO), the input must be de-coupled so the mic audio AC signal can pass through to the mic preamp, while simultaneously blocking the DC voltage from reaching that mic element. Set to 3000. Contact Us. Using the Heil Sound wide frequency range microphones such as the PR 781, PR 30 or PR 40 you will want to roll off the low end as the pre amp of the 950 does not handle a lot of bass response. FTdx101mp EQ Settings maybe there is some one can use these settings and this is helpfull for the beginning. AM-TX-Bandwidth (TX BPF SEL) 100-2900. Icom HF rigs fall into three distinct categories, as far as microphone interfacing is concerned. Heils Amateur Radio specific microphones (non-3 pin XLR) have a 1 F capacitor installed. Note that power output meter will show lower power as bandwidth is increased; this is normal, reflecting lower power density per Hertz of passband.FT-1000MP Series (including Mk-V and Field)Menu 5-9: 6.0Menu 7-7: Set SSB-T to 300-3100 Hz for DX/Contest, 100-3100 Hz for more fidelity.Menu 4-4: Set to OFF while setting Menu 7-7 to your liking, then try each selection (1 through 4) while listening in a separate receiver to see if any of these improve your voice signals characteristics. SSB-TX-Bandwidth (TX BPF SEL) 100-2900. Set the Transmit Bandwidth to Wide (100-2900 Hz), and you will be the talk of the band! CUT -6 dB Menu 095 Notch or Boost A Parametric EQ usually has only 3 filters. I don't know why the well-known commercial adapter maker doesn't do this. I run the gain at 12 o clock, and the switch on the back of the mic to the right when looking at the back of the mic. And I dare say, microphone gain is the one control on modern transceivers, almost no one gets right! If you set the Bandwidth control of the Parametric to 1 or 2, the notch or boost you have set will only affectabout 150 to 250 Hz. You do not need 8, 10 15, or for heavens sake a 31 band EQ when we are only dealing with a 3,000 Hz wide signal ! Set Menu #59 and #62 (Carrier Shift) to +50, and Menu #60 and #63 (Carrier Shift with Processor On) to +150. Firstly, a 15 dB boost or cut is HUGE. Wide-range microphones can sound great, but when applied on SSB as a general rule you may want (A) to add some high-frequency (treble) response to brighten up the pattern, and (B) to roll off some low-frequency energy (bass) particularly if you do DX and contest work. For everyday conversation, 100 2900 Hz. If affects just a small slice of the audio if the bandwidth is set to a narrow number or setting. It will NOT support dynamic microphones. Finally, if you have the ability to select the SSB bandwidth of the monitor receiver, set it as wide as possible. eHam.net provides recognition and enjoyment to the people who use, contribute, and build the site. You will perhaps want to change the frequencies of the first two filters if you are using an HC 4 or HC 5 element which is much narrower in response than the above microphones but start hear and see how this affects your transmitted signal. I've had a number of requests to shoot a video series about the Yaesu FT-710 AESS (Acoustic Enhanced Speaker System), similar to my FTdx10 series. By Dave De Coons, WO2X wo2x@arrl.net Yaesu FT-2000 Set the radio menu's for the following settings: Menu Value 85 1-30 125 100 126 2 127 1 . For digital signals, Audacity works the same way. Boost it with that adjustment but it is best to reduce (notch) that low end a bit for cleaner and clearer audio. Once you learn how to adjust and use a parametric equalizer you will never go on the air without properly adjusting. Also this confuses some, but there are two separate EQ's in this rig. "How's my audio" is commonly heard throughout the HF Bands these days. - YouTube 0:00 / 8:38 Yaesu ftdx1200 EQ settings & W2IHY. With the trend to ever-smaller living spaces RF feedback rears it's ugly head. Don't forget to push and hold MENU for 2 seconds to exit and store new settings ! "Yaesu has recently had several reports that the 950 is VERY sensitive to RF. See pages 13, 17 and 20 of the K3 Operating Manual for more details. Great piece here! FT-100Menu 16 (MIC EQ): Set to OFF initially. If you do not have one of our microphones you need to do the above modification. In the amateur radio field, we arent dealing with music material but the adjustment affects voice the same way. . Set audio frequency to 1 kHz. This will roll off some of the low-frequency response. Jeez that's sounds like an awful lot of work. Owners of modern Icom rigs wishing to utilize the specialized characteristics of Heil Sound dynamic elements (like the current HC-6 and HC-7, and discontinued HC-4 and HC-5) need only obtain the proper adapter cable (AD-1-I, AD-1-IM, CC-1-I, CC-1-IM or CC-1-XLR-I) to ensure proper interfacing. to solid-state driver & final amplifiers changed the nature of the distortion to that of hard clipping. Bob was kind enough to send me this info, so I am passing it along to the owners of FT-950's. A narrow receiver bandwidth impairs your ability to get the full picture. The resistors can be added inside of the battery box for a clean installation. I would try 200 - 2800 first. Set the TX Equalizer to 2 for local rag-chews, 9 for DX work (1 is also good), and use the 4 setting when using mics with the HC-4 element. Many of them are transmitting low frequencies close enough to DC to act as a carrier & demodulate the signal. So many times I hear stations with so much low end you cant understand what they are saying because they have not achieved good mid-range speech articulation. Sometimes, you will have too much low end audio from the microphone that actually overloads the mic pre amp and 'sounds' like RF but it may not be. No apparent reason but it is true. Options abound as how to tweak transmit audio to a precise sound. I use these settings and it sounds very good i l. Wide is 2.9 kHz. The answer to making the iC 718 come alive is our iCM, handi mic iC or one of the headsets using only our high output iC. Please submit any Amateur Radio related news or stories that you would like to see, here on eHam.net. Save your settings each time. If affects just a small 'slice' of the audio if the bandwidth is set to a narrow number or setting. When I owned my FTDX-1200 I ran a Koss SB40 dynamic headset on it and got many unsolicited compliments on the audio. Set Menu #65 and 66 (TX Carrier Shift) to +200 for DX work; leave at default (0) or +100 for local work. Just put the connector on, and set Mic gain, and tweak the EQ wearing phones and listening to the Moni channel. The K3 utilizes the Kenwood protocol for connections to its front panel 8-pin mic jack, so use the CC-1-K for 4-pin XLR mics (GM Series, HM-10 Dual, and Handi Mic}, and use the CC-1-XLR-K for connection to 3-pin XLR mics (PR-781, etc.). This FTdx3000 page discusses the techniques to attain clean ESSB (Extended SSB) audio by using the INTERNAL parametric EQ settings in the radio and NO EXTERNAL EQ 'boxes'. Selection 2 emphasis high frequencies, while 3 cuts both low and high frequencies, emphasizing mid-range.Menu 25 (MIC GAIN): 85Menu 27 (Compression) 80Menu 64 (T LSB CAR): Set to -100 Hz for rag-chewing, _150 Hz for DX/contest work.Menu 65 (T USB CAR): Set to -100 Hz for rag-chewing, _150 Hz for DX/contest work. Set Menu 51 (Equalizer) to 1 or 2 for DX work, 3 (best) or 4 for local rag-chews. It is clipping the mic preamp. The suggested level settings will be the same but the actual menu assignment labels are different.EQ1: -6 dB at 200 Hz, Bandwidth of 2 (set to -10 dB if using PR 40 and you get Reports of too much bass).EQ2: -6 dB at 900 Hz, Bandwidth of 2.EQ3: +6 dB at 2400 Hz, Bandwidth of 2. The Monitor circuit provided on your rig is very unreliable as a way of evaluating your stations audio characteristics. Set Menu #29 (Bandwidth) to 3000 Hz; set Menu #30 (Bandshift) to 100 to roll off some Bass response, and set Menu #31 (TX EQ) to H for DX work, or leave it at C for local rag-chewing. I would shift that down to 100hz, and then only do a 10 dB cut. Edit: Yaesu MD-100: Main->Filt, High emphasis->on, low cut->off. 32 -3 63 +6 125 -6 250 -6 500 -3 1k 0 2k +3 4k +3 8k 0 16k 0 Save the file. The all-important issue is the third filter where you achieve speech articulation. You are the station engineer. The Elecraft K3 and KX3 are remarkable transceivers. Here is what needs to be added to the 8 pin connector to make that electret condenser work. You will see a frequency analysis of your voice using your mic. Without the original microphone, you will have to use an outboard preamp such as a W2IHY or a small mixer/preamp. Generally, the modulators of these rigs want you to roll off bass and enhance treble. Notch or Boost. Great article. There are parametric EQ's in several Yaesu rigs, and it's great to have a good explanation of how they work, and how they should be set up for "communications audio". For best results please consult your owners manual. "Why use an outboard audio EQ with that rig when there is a damn good EQ built tight in?". Low end, Mid Range and Highs. There are three audio filters that you can change their PARAMETERS (thus Parametric EQ). For most, roll off the low end by setting the first filter at 200 Hz. Mike Now, I am not telling you that this is the end all. Jeez that's sounds like an awful lot of work. WIDE TBW Set to Wide for Fidelity, Mid for everyday operation, or NAR for very aggressive DX pile-up busting (significant roll-off of low frequencies will occur). But forget actual numbers. Press the (PROC) button momentarily so MIC EQ shows up in the display. 8-pin Round (All Models)Pin 1: MicPin 2: PTTPin 7: Microphone GroundPin 8: PTT Ground, 4-pin Round (TS-120/130/700/520/530/820/830, TR-2200/7200/7400/7500)Pin 1: Microphone InPin 2: PTTPin 3: PTT GroundPin 4: Ground, 8-pin Modular (TS-480, VHF/UHF Mobiles)Pin 3: GroundPin 4: PTTPin 5: Microphone GroundPin 6: Microphone In. All of the new Yaesu series 9000, 5000,2000 and the FT 950 have a balanced audio input on the audio board but they do not use it. However, the Mic Pre Amp on the iC 718 has down in gain by -15 dB. 32 -3. You can adjust the frequency, the bandwidth and tell those parameters to either notch (-) or boost (+). After some time i found a nice adjustment for my FTDX101/FTDX5000 and a MD-100 for casual rag chew. The iCM is the perfect match for the iC 718. Whoever is listening is going to add their interpretation of "good" sound. However, the settings are identical, in principle, to those found in the discussion below for the FT- 920. Since I can't actually HEAR your transmitted signal, these are just starting points. ALWAYS remember to hold the MENU button for about 3 seconds to save any of these needed items. "Set filter one to 200 Hz. Bandwidth Q 5 Menu 096 Bandwidth As always listen to your test signal through headphones connected to a second receiver.

As mentioned above, be sure the main switch of the MD-100 is set to THRU to bypass any in mic settings and to use only the rig's settings. Click hereto view pinout information for hundreds of rigs, mics, and connectors. I have used a receiver with attenuator bank and audacity for a few years now. Copyright 2023 Heil Sound Communications, Inc. most 1200s sound terrible. This project involves a management team of volunteers who each take a topic of interest and manage it with passion. Check with your Owners Manual for the menu numbers for your particular transmitter. We have notched some low end out by setting the transmit bandwidth in the beginning then with the EQ, we reduced some low end (menu 091) and this is always a major problem. You then set the Bandwidth of that filter and finally, you tell the filter if is notches (cuts, reduces) or boosts that filter frequency. We highly suggest our dynamic element microphones (HC-7, HC-5.1 , HC-6, Goldline GM series or PR-781 type). eHam.net is a community web site for amateur (ham) radio operators around the world. Don't give up on this incredible piece of technology. Back to the radio. The same button turns the Compression On or Off also is used to adjust the Transmit Bandwidth Filter. DSP Settings and Mic Connections: Elecraft K3 and KX 3. Another reminder: the FTdx-3000 Menus have two sets of mic equalizer settings. Keep in mind the iC elements were designed specifically for the early iCOM rigs with low mic preamp gain. Now, I will explain how I arrived at these settings which are . Do you want some big boomy low end? The next step is to turn off the Noise Blanker and any DSP Noise Reduction systems, as well as any DSP bandwidth or shaping features such as Yaesus Contour control). Listening to the monitor mode I'm not hearing it but then again, I'm not at the other end of the transmission. Yaesu FT-2000 Equalizer settings These have been tested using the MD-100 microphone. are particularly well suited for these rigs, and particularly so in the case of the FT-950. I'm a new FT991A owner and stepping up from a HT its been fantastic but a bit of a learning curve. Oddly, the word gain doesn't appear in the text. This EQ system was designed by K6JRF for Jonathan, AI6NA.Since the EQ systems in ALL YAESU radios is the same, it can by used verbatim for those radios. Looking for "Parametric" Equalizer and "P Parametric" Equalizer settings for my Heil Proset 6 headset with the HC-6 element. Bandwidth of 5 Menu 093 Bandwidth IMO if you are using the Yaesu HH mic, use position #2 on the back. Yaesu FTDX-10. Convert power to dB. There will be three important frequencies to attend to. To increase high-frequency articulation, without rolling off lows or mid-range, use selection 4.See page 81 of the Operating Manual for details. HEIL ICM electret Condenser on the YaesuAll Yaesu transceivers are set up to use low gain, passive dynamic microphones into their high gain microphone preamplifiers. Sometimes, you will have too much low-end audio from the microphone that actually overloads the mic preamp and sounds like RF but it may not be. This will determine where to cut or boost frequencies with the Eq turned on to obtain an overall full spectrum audio within the limitations of the radio transmit bandwidth & your voice/mic frequency response.In my case I needed +9 dB @200 Hz to get the power up to the same level recorded @1 kHz. : Nice article. The objective is to listen to a signal at a level of about S7 on the monitor receivers S-meter. If you experience RF getting into the radio thru the microphone, try adding a clamp-around ferrite choke or two to the mike cord where it goes into the radio. Suddenly, there were just 3 pots! HT 3-pin 3.5 mm Plug (All VHF/UHF HT except TH-F6/7*)Tip: +4VRing: Microphone InShaft: PTTNote: Ground is sourced from the shaft of the 2.5 mm plug.Heil Sound is investigating interfacing issues on these models at the present time. This is too much work for a headset! . Great receiver, full coverage .3 to 30 mHz, works great on AM, the digital modes, a terrific CW transceiver, DSP, etc. However, the process became a hobby in itself. This voltage must be blocked for use of Heil Sound dynamic elements. We discussed the built in EQ on the FT-950. Yaesu ftdx1200 EQ settings & W2IHY. The iCOM 718 is a terrific value. Second Filter 400 Hz Menu 094 Frequency Carrier Point (Q4): Try +100 for DX/Contest work, -100 for rag-chewing. The first step is to disconnect the antenna on your monitor receiver. Record a track of your voice.Save the track & select "analyze". www.k0bg.com. Its much better to listen in a separate receiver because that is the only way you can get a real-world appraisal of your audio passband characteristics. Transmitter IMD specifications on most amateur transceivers were never all that great.
