I have an 817 and I love it but it does seem to generate more questions and answers are hard to come by. I would like to tackle them one at a time. With your help I am sure we will get this done before Field day.
Today the my question is about the CW key. I have a Kent single paddle and a Palm radio pick padel. I can not get the 817 recognize there is a key plugged in. I would think maybe there was a problem with the connector but not with both keys. I also cannot turn on the keyer for CW practice. I am sure the two things are related. I have worked both keys in the past and I know they both work.
Any ideas? ]]> Yaesu Kk4lon https://hamradioforum.net/threads/8925-Ft-817-CW-key https://hamradioforum.net/threads/8916-VX-8DR-MIC-SP-clicking-sound-from-speaker-problem?goto=newpost Wed, 08 May 2019 21:14:08 GMT Hi Recently I bought a CT-M11 cable for my Yaesu VX-8DR to attach a custom headset to it.

Recently I bought a CT-M11 cable for my Yaesu VX-8DR to attach a custom headset to it. But there is a problem: when radio speaker is idle (not emitting any sounds like from receiving something or after pressing buttons) the clicking sound appears from the speaker attached to the MIC/SP connector (the one on top with many pins).
I've checked it with oscilloscope and it looks like a single spike exactly every 400mS.
Changing volume setting does not affect clicking volume, also no clicking appear on built in speaker or on the earphones connected to with 3.5mm jack on the side of the radio.

It's really strange and annoying and definitly not possible to use headset with those clicks.
I was wondering if anyone had the same problem? Is it hardware related or can be solved by softwatre?

I've already sent a letter to the official Yaesu support and if they answer something usefull - I will post here.

Thanks. ]]> Yaesu dramin https://hamradioforum.net/threads/8916-VX-8DR-MIC-SP-clicking-sound-from-speaker-problem
