entire house uses Philips LED lamps and there is no trace of interference at all. cheers all

`Hi Wayne, I tried cleaning as per your description but to no avail, the problem is that the led are years old and the brightness drops off, once I increased the current through the led's the brightness increased and the unit has never played up since ( approx 6 yrs ago ). cheers Graham

Hi Wayne, I had the same problem on my old ic551 and I had to increase the current through led light source for the chopper, once I had done that the unit now performs without any problems. Cheers Graham

good stuff - wish i was there. cheers Graham vk7zgk

I had a similar problem on my IC551 and the problem area was in the photo diode chopper cct. I had to increase the current through the LEDS to increase light o/p. Once I had done this the VFO worked correctly and has done so for the past 5 years. I hope this can help. Cheers Graham VK7ZGK

running all switch mode supplies in the shack and the whole house is lit with LED lighting and so far have had no problems with noise or interference. Cheers Graham

stupid callsigns - stupid people.

I can't believe that that this subject has cropped up all over again and all about a paltry $74 per year. If whoever object about the cost perhaps they should move to a Country where the license is free and stop moaning.

OK , I GIVE UP! LOOKS LIKE NOTHING WILL BE AGREED TO, EVERYBODY JUST KEEP PAYING THE LICENCE FEE PLUS THE TAX ETC. LETS ALL GO ALONG LIKE SHEEP ASK NO QUESTIONS BELEIVE IN OUR WIA AND ACMA. THEY KNOW WHAT'S BEST BECAUSE WE DARE NOT ROCK THE BOAT! I WILL POST NO MORE ,GOOD LUCK. At last the whinging...

f you bunch of tight wads object to paying a paltry $75 then i suggest that you move to a country where there is a free license and stop whinging

I can't believe that you people have so much time spare to spend hours debating a miniscule $74 dollars a year. get a life. regards Graham VK7ZGK

What a bunch of tight wads - these are the same people who complain about cost of W.I.A. membership. get a life.
Cheers all. Graham VK7ZGK.
