Anan 10E RX attenuation and tx delay
Posted: Tue May 23, 2017 7:06 am
Hi All,
after owning the Anan 10E (14 bit) since almost a couple of years, I'm still facing a couple of issues which I'd like to explain you, maybe I'm not the only one.
Attenuation on high bands:
on 15, 12, 10 and 6 mt my RX seems to be quite deaf.
I'm sure there is a strong attenuation. Comparing in with my TS590S, some signals are just unreadable.
I calibrated the RX with a 50ohm dummy load and a stable signal, but it didn't help.
Last evening with a local friend on 6mt with the Anan I wasn't able to copy him, no signal and nothing heard. On my TS590S we was 5/5 - 5/6 and we had a qso for a hour.
TX delay:
Some ham operators sent me records of my transmission. I always noted that my emission was ending a little earlier than my last word was ended, like if I was leaving the PTT a little earlier. Very strange. So a frined from New York told me he was reconrding me on his mobile phone and I therefore made some tests. To avoid this problem I had to apply a delay in my TX of some hundreds msec. Otherwise the last couple of letters of my last word was cut off.
I'm sure I never leave the PTT before I stop talking.
The delay is quite uncomfortable, imagine in contest or in CW pile up.
Am I the only one facing these kind of "issues"?
