Default Re: Yaesu FT7 speaker no audio

Yes, it was connected to a 50W dummyload via power and swr meter inbetween. I even checked the dummyload as well. It is made by Zetagi ITALY, and 52 ohms and 50 W rated dummyload.
SWR is 1:1.

I tried CW contact with somebody on 20M, and the antenna is tune for 1:1 SWR. The FT7 is putting out something like constant carrier rather than CW I am sending. No one came back to my call.


I only found it out, when tune my portable SW radio with SSB setting. It sounded like the relay in the FT7 is sticking as well. Constant Dahs? when I am sending callsigns? Never had this experience with any other rigs.
