Hi Joel ok here goes You need the AATU that can do more than the AMP can put out i.e. 600WATTS, I have menu 141 OFF, I use my RADIO then AMP then AATU, Tune up the FT991A with the AMP turned OFF use from 5watts all the way to 100watts then you will know that everything is TUNED with the Antenna, Turn the Power DOWN to 8 watts NO more then Turn the AMP on then go and test the AMP, Have a look at this video it will give you some idea of how to connect everything up if you need any more information regarding your FT991 and the BLA350 let me know and I'll help in any way I can, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CO1HzyRV2Bc.html

As long as there is a very good earth to the system the ATAS120 will work but it's getting that good earth , thanks for the post 73's

Most of the time I take the ATAS-120a off the car and put it back on when needed, it all depends on the area you live in hi hi

HI george the answer is NO it's trial and error setting things up some times it takes months even years to get things just how you want it to be, i.e. how you want your Audio to sound but once done save all your setting just in case you start to PLAY again to see if you can get the audio sounding any better, it's good fun, I've got my audio just as I want the Audio Gear to sound and now I never touch the audio gear it's left just as it is now.

Will that work with mixer other behringer stuff fx2000

@@georgeogrady449 YES there are loads of ways you can connect your audio gear together you just have to try it, here are a few Links you can have a look at and get more help from to get the Audio you want other Ham's to hear have a look, www.wz5q.net/talkvoodoo/ www.wz5q.net/ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-v3NZ6iyyFnA.html Hope these help with getting your audio and connecting things together

Hi Mark the Video was made 6 years ago on a old Mobile phone also the video was not made for YOU it was made for me which all my video's are just to remind me what I did, also Even though the video is OLD I can clearly see the video with out any problems so you must have such a great PC to watch video's from RU-vid or your eye's must be playing tricks with you, Enjoy the information on my video's or don't

Hi just to check with you are you using AM or FM when checking your SWR and POWER out put ?? if your doing AM then I think that's about right but if it's FM then you might have a problem, I don't have enough information or if you can do a video I can have a look which will help with what ever I post here because I could be totally wrong

@@M0AOV I was in SSB. When I key up in SSB with 100 watts, the forward power indicates 35 watts of forward power.

@@BlackHamRadioUniversity If you want to see what your out put power is, is to use a meter that will show you PEP your radio will only show you AVERAGE power which will show you around 35watts or around that power, check your power out put on FM with 100% power drive and you will see on a SWR meter with power set up, on power showing it should show around 100W

Hi Mark I'm using a Rode Procaster mike and or a Heil PR781 Plus some other Audio gear but you can just use either of those mic's with a mic lead from eBay have a look www.ebay.co.uk/itm/254180368797 ALSO www.ebay.co.uk/itm/254180374293?hash=item3b2e54b715:g:6TsAAMXQuCdTjfUB&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAA4C6ggVQN7YjQBP3sMFtFBEn1NuQIx57lv3y88hJC5%2BHq4WqWrAqze3HI4n7EOsQZ%2F9RqYhuIJ1pfJj3PVbVI%2BmFFESfXQ0vlpr%2B65QpkzJLAb4uG5oZX8jYlsIJt65%2FJxUgaxfC0XhwGtmAFL4p%2Bjw7duQmL%2FJTiSJYaHWFtxcopJRjmgMgZCzxaHV%2BhXhTgYUfdOisk3y77AqrIK0ufJFaBF%2FHpc0qWakX8QSV7JVnEOr2QJyC5Ll1eBKdyRo4%2BlZqtEslCGzKraRVBgPVHFOcoAki%2FMz%2BUK6VfGcbNfG1t%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR-iS38K5YQ ALSO www.ebay.co.uk/itm/374253759289?hash=item5723432b39:g:hfoAAOSwHnNjIZGK&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAA4NZrwaMxipH8RrrynFYQAjMhNaQK3yJWtxeqSvcM%2FTbTyYQGf2lu0WyP0OV%2BgGO%2F62H1jiHa%2BxACVgELnksMqK4YwNYCbbwp5%2BxlESPWVdLD05c0Vs9e4uLdllNx1XMtPjC8X%2Fp3UYn6ed1qoc9tO8tGnj2bVG%2BbKzHeo66mvboBr24Fs2Nvm1ZG9q3J3OqLDs6rHPpk4kZlWFQQxoR4QVSmeB4s5Yv9zbguARwxD4zVL4uOlLJGr2%2BLeNSo8xBlmbXKlO2iuZaKvbTdwROpo2JdliKjUwq9KYkWg5gPlVPP%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR6CvzsK5YQ It all depends on what Mic you have and what leads you need to connect to your Radio, Hope this helps.

Hi Carmine Pascucci I always have the internal ATU turned off on all radio's the external ones like the LDG can cope better than the Internal ones so the answer would be NO the ATU's are only used on HF and 6M, no atu is used on 2m or 70cms it was just that the AGC was turned off somehow but someone gave me the heads up and I turned it back on, I never knew it would be turned OFF on the FT991

Hi Honey what my problem was the AGC it was turned OFF so check that first and hope that sorts it out.

Hi Gilles I'm not sure I've never tested the AMP on 11m so I can not really help you there BUT depending where you are on 11m I can not see why it won't set on 10m section

@@M0AOV Many thanks for your kind answer. I just want to make sure I can use it from 27 to 28.9 Mhz before I purchase one as I only use an expanded (export) CB radio so mainly on the 11 meter. Cheers and 73!

@@gc12gladiator just keep an eye on the input i.e. don't use more then around 8 - 9 watts max, you can pick the BLA350 at good prices my last one I got for £260 so not bad and I use it in my Bulgaria QTH so they are good , 73

@@M0AOV yes I will. Thank you for the tip. I should be able to input a max of 5 to 8 watts in the linear so no worries there and my SWR is low across the frequencies I use most. 260£ is a great price! In the UK they mostly sell new for around 700£! Cheers to you!

Can you have a separate antenna on each receiver?

Hi Frank have a look at this link it will give you the information you need and should answer your 2nd question also eesdr.com/en/products-en/transceivers-en/sunsdr2dx-en

The RJ45 on MIC2 of the SunSDR2DX is not connected to my Mixer, thats system is for ESSB and is connected to the Audio Rack gear then to the MIXER then the iBox then the FT2000 I have lot's of different audio gear connected to different Radio's. are you trying to connect a RJ45 to some Radio Gear???

HI Steven I think your going to use everything in a system totally different system than for Ham Radio so I have no idea how you would set everything up we only do this Audio Setup for Ham Radio.

Glad you like my setup, when I use my Sunsdr2dx the interface is on another screen so I have no problem looking at it when working the radio, it's all down to how your shack is setup for your equipment, this video is just to help with information nothing else and hopefully it might help.

Hi Kevin Z what you need to do is buy the radio or something like it and a cb antenna and get the radio moded so it works on cb band thats all, easy really loads of cb'ers have these kind of radio's on cb bands.

@@M0AOV thanks was trying to keep everything on 1 antenna since this antenna is tunable for basically all bands lol looking at doing a yaesu ft891 and some sort of screwdriver antenna...not hard to mod radio to do 11m lol

Hi what you need to do is get the latest firmware from yaesu www.yaesu.com/indexVS.cfm?cmd=DisplayProducts&ProdCatID=102&encProdID=D24F60F33816ED8BE5568D7E2B5E2131 download the firmware and put it on your PC in what ever sub/dir you want then unzip the file then have a look at the PDF which tells you how to update all the firmware i.e. you want DSP it will tell you how to update that to the latest version just make sure if you have a 991 or a 991A I have the 991 so my DSP is up to date. Check on PAGE 5 it tells you how to update the DSP make sure everything else is up to date or you will have to update the MAIN and TFT and the SDP if they are not, Hope this help's.

Hi Silver with the audio connections YES but you need something like a iBox or a iPlus box something that can change the audio down to line level so you audio is ok for your radio.

Ok thanks

Settings are the same you just don't get the same kind of Audio quality, the fist mike is ok if you have nothing else to use but if you want really good audio you use studio mike sound loads better.

Thank's for the post Martin nice radio and software from Russia one of the best SDR radio's out there, it all depends what you want and what you want to pay i.e. for software upgrades SUNSDR is FREE and FLEX you pay to upgrade to a new version number at the moment it's version 3, I like Flex and I like the Sunsdr Radio's. Take it easy 73's

Hi DOUG I'll check when I'm on the Radio tomorrow what the full BW is I use anything from 3K to 6K depending who I'm talking to and Signals between us, I use different Audio input in to the radio but with my Audio Rack I use a iPLUS from w2ihy if to the front Mic2 in the front of the radio there are lot's of ways you can add Audio and Audio gear in to the SunSDR2-DX radio it's down to you, SO Audio Rack to Mic2 or even Headset in to the PC out to Mic 1 of the sunSDR2-DX and use the 10 band EQ from the radio or even Headset Mic from the PC to Audio Gear Prog on the PC then out put the eq'd Audio from the PC out to Mic1 of the Radio there are so many ways to add your Audio, Hope this help's 73's

Not sure what your setting are plus if you have any other equipment connected to your radio ??? if just your PR40 and the FT991 then look at your EQ's look at the low's and bring them down a little then look at around 1.5k on the EQ's and listen to your audio when you put it up higher that will bring the LOW's Down less base and bring the high's up more that should sort but make sure you listen to your own audio on WEBSDR site or another radio but make sure you listen to the radio using the same TX bandwidth you use if 2.9 make sure the other radio has the same bandwith, also it will depend on what you sound like so lot's to check out when changing Audio, hope some of this help's.

@@slavetonone3635 what I would suggest is do the audio setup as it says in the manual with a normal fist mic, once done then try you Procaster but turn you EQ OFF and COMP OFF also so you only try with the Mic gain first then add the COMP ON and see what that does then add the EQ ON and see what that does it should work right then I would say, Hope you get it sorted 73's
