Hi ,
i have a problem with a president jackson cb , in tx there is about 100hz noise (i tx with car battery no PSU), the noise there is even if carrier is unmodulted (fm and am mode).... Can someone halp me ? Schemtics are aviable and i can use an oscilloscope......... Giulia |

Giulia Ignore Brian (Telspam) -- he'll tell you that your ground plane needs to be nine square feet. Refer to your schematic and use your scope to trace the oscillation backwards through the audio chain starting at the audio power amp. You'll find the problem stage eventually. Don't forget to carefully inspect the board for bad solder joints and loose pads. |

Giulia OK... you have pin2 grounded for no input signal. Now use your scope and trace backward from the RF output collector... moving back through the audio chain... noting the origin of the 100Hz oscillation. Normally those radios have only a single transistor buffer for the mic... followed by a high power op amp (usually mounted to chassis wrapper) for the audio. Your signal tracing should take long at all. Hope that helps. www.telstar-electronics.com |

Also I did forget that CB radios are not necessarily well designed radios. In a well designed radio, any audio frequency below 300Hz is considered subaudible. Why? Because the power density in the human voice below 300Hz is negligible. Most well designed receivers for communications purposes do not have audio response below 300 Hz. Also human hearing threshold increases as the frequency decreases below 300Hz. That is the source of the audio freq uency needs to have a larger PSL in order for it to be heard. Sensitivity to audio frequency in Humans is not flat like that of speakers and some sound systems. Instead SPL, Sound Pressure Level, needs to increase as frequency decreases below 300Hz to gain the recognition. For most Humans the power of a 20Hz signal needs to be about 30dB higher than that of 100Hz. james |

![]() OK... you have pin2 grounded for no input signal. Now use your scope and trace backward from the RF output collector... moving back through the audio chain... noting the origin of the 100Hz oscillation. Normally those radios have only a single transistor buffer for the mic... followed by a high power op amp (usually mounted to chassis wrapper) for the audio. Your signal tracing should take long at all. Hope that helps. Changing in VR5 (some related to modulation) remove the noise , i put vr5 more near ground. Noise seems generated from somewhere feedback at hight swr.... regulation of vr5 remove noise but what kind of effect can it have on modulation (in am all semms right RF evelope in the scope and audio received from another cb)?

Giulia RF feedback into the microphone? If you feel it is due to high SWR - why not check and reduce it? Try your tests again. What kind of mic are you using? If you mentioned it, I didn't see it. I've seen D104s do that. On 2 meters - I've seen RF get into the power source and do all kinds of weird things to the signal. Check your SWR then - go from there. IF it IS high, even if the mic/audio issue isn't cured, at least another problem will be - and save you from yet a future one. Are you using an "Amplifier" with this set up? |

I "believe" you said you're running the radio off a car battery. Is it "Actually" mobile or in the house? If in the house, are you running a trickle charger in the process? IF the modulation was cranked up all the way, were you running anything in the background maybe the mic picked up? Many items can cause a hum - you won't hear - that the mic will pick up. If it is mobile, any chance something in the vehicle is causing it? With the modulation cranked up - maybe it was enough to allow "that" to be heard. I've also seen a transmitter make some weird sounds on key - up - with a weaker battery. The antenna SWR as you alluded to - the antenna not grounded - could also create issues along those limes. I've seen lots of weird things happen to cause noises such as you describe - not always internal. Recheck your Antenna coax connections too. |

What you clearly said was that it could not be detected without a scope. Then you come up with a bunch of gobbledeegook about 'well designed receivers'. That's not the point, and that's not what you said. Suffice to say that you were simply wrong. 100 Hz is clearly audible. It doesn't take a scope to detect. A pair of common ears is all that's necessary. Whether it should be heard in a CB receiver is debatable, but if it's there, there's no reason why one shouldn't be able to hear it. jak |

To be fair, "subaudible tone" is a fairly common euphemism for CTCSS or "PL" tones. As you point out, though, they're only "subaudible" because they get filtered out before the final audio stages. |

The .3-3kHz limits were standardized (by the military) because researchers discovered, over half a century ago, that the bandwidth carried the majority of -intelligibility- in the human voice. IOW, by limiting the frequency range of the vocal spectrum, transmitted speech can be understood using much less power than when transmitting using the full voice bandwidth. Most well designed receivers for communications purposes do not have audio response below 300 Hz. Hmmm..... my Onkyo is a well-designed receiver for communications purposes and it is flat down to 2 Hz..... Also human hearing threshold increases as the frequency decreases below 300Hz. Huh?

I still thought that I was in part correct with my first statement that a 100Hz signal is at the low end of "hearable" and is best detected with a scope. What I did forget is that the third harmonic and greater would be very audible. I findeed that were the case. If I am at fault of anything it is not taking enough to to be more explicit and to general in my comments. james |

Even still the quality of speakers in low tier CB radios probably do not have that great of a frequency response. Then also a harmonic of the 100Hz signal if large enough could pass through the audio block. LIke I said I never intended to get off on a tangent on audible or hearable signal levels and human hearing response. I still thought that I was in part correct with my first statement that a 100Hz signal is at the low end of "hearable" and is best detected with a scope. What I did forget is that the third harmonic and greater would be very audible. I findeed that were the case. If I am at fault of anything it is not taking enough to to be more explicit and to general in my comments. Your first mistake was jumping to a conclusion before you had the facts. The second was trying to obfuscate your first mistake with BS. Have you ever thought about working at the White House? |
