I had similar reports when I first got my Omni VII and 708 almost 9 years ago and spent time getting comments and recordings off the air to make adjustments. I also compared using a different mic, bu

The 705 mic is pretty hot, compared to others like the 707, and I needed to turn the hardware mic gain control down from 100% to 12% to use it. After that, the settings for mic gain, SSB band width,

Greetings, Snowy. What you describe is exactly the way it is supposed to work. The S-Meter is actually reading the AGC voltage which is proportional to the strength of the signal. If you have AGC off

Sounds like the processor has locked up. Be sure to do a reset (button on the right side) and make sure connectors and boards are connected properly inside. Alas, if the processor chip has failed, th

A little more info on the symptoms might help. If the problem is on every band then it is probably the minor loop board, if it is confined to a couple of bands then it probably is the major loop boar

If you have or can route the IF to the rear, using one of the inexpensive 30mHz-up SDR dongles can make a nice panadapter running HFSDR or similar on your PC. You can link the rig and the waterfall d

That noise happens with too much audio. If the ALC light is coming on a lot or if running mic gain to high or (in my experience) if using the speech processor. Back off and it should clean up. Also,
