I have managed to get my signalink box working very well with the
706MkIIG but have found that it causes a weird side effect in that
when
the cable is plugged in the back of the rig it heavily attenuates my
voice so that people struggle to hear me when i am speaking on the
mic.
To be heard i need to turn up AGC to 10. When unplugged the lead i can
leave at normal setting of 5. Since everything else is working ok has
anyone else experienced this problem or got any ideas.

Many thanks

Its a box that connects to via TNC and allows digital modes to be
used. See www.tigertronics.com/slusbmain.htm

Yup - sure have but no response yet so tried asking here - this
message board in 99 out of 100 times finds me an answer to the lastest
of my ongoing radio problems. Why is it that the life of the radio
amateur is going from one technical problem to the next? I guess its
because we get easily bored and have to fiddle or add new kit. Still
keeps me out of trouble.

Andy,
It sounds like attaching the signallink box double terminates the
microphone. I don't know if there is a way to adjust the output
impedance on the signalink box, but you might try raising it. That
means that you will also probably have to raise its output level as
well. I have one of the signalink boxes on order and will let you know
how I interfaced it to my 706 when I get it.

Andy,

I also have a SignaLink USB, and find it works well with my Yaesu.
However, compared with 3 other sound card or external units I have
used, it seems to have a much lower impedance. The result is that it
loads down both the input and output. Obviously, how much depends on
your rig, and where you are connecting it.

I have an external switching box which I built up to allow the use of
some other devices with the rig, which of course includes an OFF
position. In your case, probably something as simple as a double pole
toggle switch built into a small box would work. It wouldn't hurt to
switch both the RX and TX audio.

are you wired to the mike jack on the rear....dont..manual states do
NOT run both .


if you are wired into the 13 pin acc plug, double check your wiring..
