Actually it's an MFJ-295 and after a thorough check transmit audio is extremely distorted. Receive audio is good and it does key up. My apologies. Joel Mueller...
You mean you really expect someone to be able to reprogram the firmware in the radio itself to drive the internal display differently than provided by the...
Greetings After having a chance to play and scratch my head a few times. I think I've figure out the HT. I'm now able to program and did see the function in...
It wouldn't be easy by any means, but not entirely impossible. There's a number of groups that try to pry into a devices internals and write custom firmware....
... I've checked this option with our local repeater DB0QL and for me it seems, when activated, this option suppresses the Roger Beep of the repeater. There is...
Hi folks .. TX audio is quiet .. even on wide dev. and no mic gain is available anywhere, so, any ideas ? i will order a external speaker mic if this will...
Marc, how have you checked that? I listened to myself using another radio and I had the same worry. Then I came back to someone calling on a repeater and the...
There have been reports of some giving low deviation and there is a mod for it, search google. It involves changing a resistor and apparently after the mod the...
I haven't used my UV-3R very much yet, but on both occasions I was complimented on the tonal qualities of the modulation, but was also criticized for how quiet...
Hello there, ... Quiet outbound audio combined with really loud inbound audio suggests a modulation width mismatch between you and the other parties... Are you...
In my family we have five UV3Rs all of them have excellent audio on TX also several members of our club have them the TX audio is clearer and louder than any...
Hi Mark, There are many UV-3R owners around here. Most (including myself) have fixed the "quiet TX audio" by: - setting the W/N menu option to Wide - enlarging...
I've confirmed my WIDE setting which I did when first received the radio. Can you provide a link for instructions for the rubber cap hole mod? Sounds easier...
Hi Lynn, I don't know of a link, but I can try to explain: - remove the antenna - remove the knob - open the radio and remove battery - remove the two visible...
Got my UV-3R a couple of days ago. A few observations: 1. Weather monitoring is very handy.. just program in the channel(s) for you area. I put them at the top...
As far as the goofy channels, I used the programing cable and software and deleted them all. If you delete the first frequency entry in the first column only...
Doesn't the antenna connector have to be un-soldered so the board can be removed? From: UV-3R@yahoogroups.com [mailto:UV-3R@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Piet ...
Piet, I also think about increasing the TX audio. Do you mean enlarging the whole in the rubber cap only or the whole of the housing itself, too? Since the one...
I've heard hams doing that as well on other HT. I was told last night I was very quite. I'm going to widen the mic hole as suggested. Don VA7DGP Sent from my...
I found I was better off with a "generic" 1/4 wave wire whip. Less strain on the SMA connector. DO paint the tip yellow or something to keep from poking...
I still have my DT wrist radio!  Course it's just a toy.  I can't wait till they come out with the surgically implanted all mode,all flavors radio.  ...
