Maestro Feedback on Front Speaker

Scott Grandt

Appologies if this has been asked and answered....but after a few hours of poking on the boards I didn't see this issue brought up.  I just took a Maestro out of the box this weekend.  

I am using it with the front speaker for now with the FHM-2 mic.  I'll likely change this over time, but station a work in progress.  When on 20M no issues at all.  When I switch to 40M, for some reason the front speaker does not cut off when you PTT.  The result is a feedback screech that is driving my dog crazy and making talking on 40M impossible.  

I cannot imagine what setting got changed between taking it out of the box and turning it on.  Any help welcome.

Thank you.
Scott

Hi Don,

Boy I would like to have a printed copy of the manuals, as I also hate reading from a computer screen. Where did you go to have this done?  I am in North Texas, even though my call is a 1Land call.  Yes, I will probably never figure out or need to use everything my 6500 has, but I really enjoy what I have used to date.  I really like the remote capabilities, and have used them quite a bit.  However have run into some issues with wifi at various locations, but am slowly solving them.  I also still have my knob radios, a Icom 775DSP, and a Collins S-Line. I use the Collins 30L-1 with the 6500 with excellent results when needed.

Gene,
I took it to a local office supply that has been in Duncan, OK for a long time, not a chain of any kind.  He sells copiers and does manuals and binding things for schools, etc.  Both manuals in color cost nearly $100.  No wonder they don't come free, HI.  If done in Black and White, it would have been MUCH cheaper.  Now that I have done it in color, I am not really sure that the color matters that much, so I might save the money next round.

Gene,
If you are still in need of printed manuals, spiral bound, I visited my local vendor again to get a B/W copy of the "new" Kenwood TS-990 manual after the latest update.  If you go with black and white, NOT color, it is VERY reasonable and he will ship after making the copy.  Get my email address from QRZ, send me an email and I'll fill you in on costs.  Anyone else is welcome to do that if you have trouble getting printed manuals.  These are spiral bound, with stiff cardboard back, clear plastic front and GREAT copies.  Color is available, but as I found, NOT cheap, HI.
73, hope it helps some,
