Squealing sound in all modes and all bands
Posted: 15 Mar 2023, 08:38
Hello all! I bought a pre-assembled radio from one of the trusted sellers on Amazon. My radio has a distinct squeal to it no matter what the settings are: volume, agc, vox, etc. When I first power up the radio, you can hear a squeal from the internal speaker. I thought maybe internal feedback, so I tried in-ear headphones. The squeal is still there. When I press any one of the four buttons, the squeal dips in frequency. It also dips with CW keying.
I bought a pre-assembled radio because I have huge fingers and soldering SMDs is VERY hard for me. I'm not afraid to hack away at it though! Where should I start?
