Yaesu FT817 no SSB
 

Hello has anyone had problems with an ft817 not working on ssb, mine works ok on fm and am but not on ssb. Any thoughts please?

Have you tried going into the main menu and set the SSB mic gain (the default is 50) ?

What frequency as well? Some modes are locked out on some bands.

''Not working''........................transmit or receive or both?

Thanks for replies, I have been looking further and discovered no receive or transmit and ssb mic is set at 50. I have taken the covers off and can't see anything loose but looking for dry joints would be a nightmare.

...And is that on all bands as well?

If you have not already tried it, just try doing a factory reset before looking for hardware causes for the problem - it could save you from disturbing the hardware / dismantling things unnecessarily.

If, after that, it looks like a hardware problem, the service manual (technical supplement) should be a good place to start.
