Transmission1

I draged my nato 2000 out for change, and pluged in my external speaker. and i can hear my own voice in the speaker along with a very loud roger bleep?


cant say i can remeber it doing this before, but not sure if i plugged in an external speaker before. on internal speaker its fine, you can just hear a very faint roger beep at the end of a transmission, but no voice when speaking into the mic. plug in the external speaker and its like having a monitor speaker.

any idea guys? all help aprciated

You must have the ext speaker earthed somewhere, the mic disconnects the earth from the speaker on TX so it acts like a PA when it doesn't. It could be your speaker end or it could be inside the radio, easy to check with a multimeter. Not a hard fault to fix tbh.

Also worth checking you have a mono plug on your speaker. The sockets used in the Nato like the Formacs etc dont like stereo jack plugs

Thanks guys all sorted now, it was an earth issue. works well this nato, quite impressed with it on FM at least.

Cool.
They are a good radio with a few minor mods.
Glad you sorted it
