IC-271H distortion

[HG5AZR]

Hi all!

I realised only in RX mode in SSB,if somebody speaking in SSB mode I hear distortion but only in PEP about every 5 seconds.
Radio is very clear and suddenly for a half second distortion.
Can you test it?
I replaced 2 plastic trimmers to ceramic but the same probleme.
Why?


Thanks

I'm not an expert but since no one has responded yet, I'll try to help.

I used to own a '271a a few years back and had the same problem.  As I understand it, bad caps is a problem common to all of the 271/471 series rigs.  When I had mine repaired, the standard "fix" was to replace all of the caps.

The fix worked for me, and it was doing fine when I later sold the rig.  I used Malcolm Tech service.  Good job, and a fair price.  http://www.angelfire.com/biz2/mts/

Good luck, and enjoy your rig!
