6700 v3.4.21 RF Gain

Hi.

Just updated to version 3.4.21 all looks OK apart from ANT RF setting has to be on +20db when on a signal below S5, if I put it back to +10db or below as it was before the update its like there is a squelch on.

Read through what I could fine but nothing with the problem I have, knew I should have left well alone :-)

6700

Thanks in advance

John

    What is your AGC-T set to before and after you change the gain?

    I tried to recreate your problem, but I didn't see the same thing.

    Which band was this on and which antenna where you using?

    It doesn't matter where the AGC is set, tried all different ways and still nothing, if I delete the slice and make a new one it works fine for about 5 mins, then off again, very strange. this is on 60m or any band.

    I have just changed to FM and took the squelch off then back to SSB and it worked for a while, going back to FM noticed that the squelch is high lighted again even when I took it off.

    Can you open a support ticket for this please so they can accurately track what you are seeing.

    Thanks

    Mike I don't have a problem recreating Squelch for SSB on my 6700 running 3.4.21. Just wonder if Flex has this running on their commercial or gov software? I can be reached at k5pwr1967@gmail.com

    Steps:
    1 - open a memory channel you have saved ( doesn't matter what band but try 40Meters )
    2 - make sure Mode is set to USB and squelch is checked
    3 - click on this channel, radio will tune that to Freq and receiver will be muted if no one is talking
    4 - 40 and 80 LSB will be received on this channel arrangement but in the RX Window Pane it is set to USB
    5 - On upper bands USB is correct
    6 - to change squelch level ( or audio mute ) Open ANT settings select 10, 20, 30, 40 ( 30 or 40 open squelch.
    7 - don't move the frequency or the radio will reset to normal operations
    8 - Have fun and yes I know it will be fixed but its nice to have squelch without an App

    Sometime you can drag frequency and it doesn't reset SQ K5PWR Keley
