Has anyone had issues with 50W transmissions on 2 meters? My FT7900 shuts itself off when I key the mic at high power on 2 meters.

Never have had that problem, would guess it is reacting to high SWR or possibly an heat issue such as the fan not operating, the unit does have thermal shut down which can be caused by high swr or a heat problem.

Never had any problems of any kind, FYI. Be certain your antenna is properly matched and all connections are tight.

Possibly have inadequate power source or wiring? Is this in a vehicle or being used as a base radio?

No issues with my 7900 on high power. Maybe your antenna will not handle the 50 watts causing the transmitter to shutdown?

if you don't install int with its bracket and the radio is resting in a flat surface th eheat sink won't function and it will oveheat and shut off. make sure tha radio isn't lying right on a desk and you should be ok

No issues @ hi power. Perhaps low voltage at the radio (not the power supply - I check my voltage at the radio, not the power supply as there can be voltage drop at the radio end.). If your using a power supply, check/adjust voltage - also be sure the power supply can handle the power.Have you checked your SWR's? If its to high, you get power feedback to the radio, not good. Heating issues? be sure the radio isn't overheating, the fan should be working when transmitting, to a little after key off, or thermal signal calling for the fan.Check Yaesu FAQ's (if they have that) and/or contact who you purchased the radio from, maybe Yaesu if need be.

Your power supply may not have enough amprage to run it at high. I had that problem a while. Back.

Mine shuts off too; not even at particularly high volume either. Signal is being fed into the unit via stereo minijack. You are not alone.

Return it. My unit did that right before it burned out 4 of the five channels. I returned it and bought a sony.

J. Sampson, I have only used this Mic with my UV5R plus which is only has the dual watch function. I purchased the the dual band PTT Mic for my UV 82. Try locking the selected channel on the key pad to prevent it from going to channel B. Also try turning the dual watch feature off while in the menu mode.

There are two transmitting power levels. The lower level still does a hugely better job of getting the signal through walls and around a large yard than others that are available. I have tried almost all of them, and all of them had trouble getting 50 - 100 feet, even if I extended the transmitting antenna. Be aware of two things: 1. Keep the input volume sort of low as the unit has no pre-compression. Loud portions of the audio can cause the transmitted signal to splatter in to adjacent channels. It is FM (frequency modulation) after all. Check any adjacent stations for interference by your transmissions... and 2. If you live in a community with less-than-an-acre lots, especially in a large metropolitan area with many commercial FM stations, I wouldn't get this unit.

I don't have it anymore. I know it came with a power supply (100-120V). I don't know about the 50-60 Hz (don't remember). I've never tried with that specific mic. It worked fine with a generic.

Because the FCC has a Wattage restriction of up to 2w. This transmitter can be switched to 7w. Which breaks the free transmission guidelines

This was a couple of years ago. I saved this link, so this must have worked for me. http://www.manualslib.com/manual/10629/AtAndt-Tl7600.html?page=30. I don't recall having a problem. I may have also seen a YouTube video

Sounds like it. Mine has a hard time receiving transmissions at times like it works when it wants to and I regret passing up exchanging it. Don't hesitate, exchange it while you have the chance.

Hi Connie. That's not going to happenBaofengs only put out about 4 1/2 wattsThe only way your going to talk to your friends is thru a repeater. Simplex is onlyGood for about 5 to 6 miles. Hope this helped you. I have four of them and been a ham for 27 yrsHave fun

I haven't noticed an issue. I haven't used it with a mic that much, but the couple of times I have for basic voice overs, I had plenty of gain. It's USB powered, so there probably is something to the complaint of weaker gain in comparison with a standard interface or mixer, but again... I had plenty.

Nah, this Behringer PSU-SB is only 100mA, you'd create a fire hazard using it with your MT-2 that requires double the current.

Ok, it is presumed that your mic is set up properly! If you need to reset the unit constantly, return the equipment. It seems you got a "lemon."

How did you connect the wiring? Did you use butt connectors, solder, tape? I have never encountered static other than for the split second when you switch the device on and it interferes with 87.9. Then it goes quiet. You might check the gain setting on the device with a flathead screwdriver. Mine is turned up all the way.

I have recorded seminars ( speaker has mike attached , 50' away and at 2 hours mike is still working fine. I usually change batteries after that.

I did the exact same switched but used the Titan power unit. Even using the same power unit, the Titan gave me less channels than the Winegard. I believe that it is faulty electronics within the unit. The unit uses older electronics technology, but according to my husband it is still good. However, there are coils inside the unit. If one of the coils are a half turn off (either too much or too little) it will throw off the units ability to pick up signals. I do not think you did anything wrong. I have read previous reviews and try all of the suggestions and even did the troubleshooting from Channel Master to no avail. It is just faulty.

Tavis, I'm looking for a similar solution - how did you do it in the end? did you use the 2.4ghz to get that kind of distance?
