I have on the bench two units with a similar behaviour... The RF detection seems to fail when the tuner is in some L/C combinations and you change bands. So, well, not a great product!. I am trying to at least find exactly where is the problem, at which levels the electronics stops detecting RF and if something can be done to fix this. I will get back if I find a solution

Thanks for this video! I just tried it on my TS-890 and the RX EQ OFF has the same high frequency roll-off vs FLAT, exactly like your TS-990. Good to know!

Fortis, your videos are extremely helpful! I did one of the first reviews on eham 10 or 11 years ago. I absolutely LOVE this radio! I have learned a lot from your videos as this is a complex radio to master but easy to get started with. I hope you post more, Yasou!

Oh wow, 7 years ago and I am just about to take delivery of this rig on Friday. What a fantastic video and so easy to follow and understand. Apologies not needed, your accent is perfect although ta elliniká mou eínai étsi ki étsi ;) My daughter was born on Cyprus and your accent brings back many happy memories ;) I wonder if you still have the 990S and what your thoughts are now ..... just going to look for Part 2 and any other videos you may have done. 73s Steve G4KIV / ZC4BS

Mine works fine. You either have the settings wrong or are not putting enough carrier into the tuner. I will not always go into tune mode with 10 watts or less
@fotissv8rma2 жыл бұрын
All the settings are checked many times,tested from 10 to 50watts with no luck.the service department in Germany checked it (twice)and confirmed the malfunction.MFJ also confirmed and told me that it doesnt work right ,but their manager refused that it is a false product. They even send twice the main chip to replace it ,but of course with no luck. The problem is that they dont know what causes this. I receive many messages from people with the same problem,but noone can find a solution. If yours works fine ,then you are very lucky.73
