Likewise here. My FT-100 when running in the motorhome off batteries would make all manner of audio noises when I turned the power above 25 watts. I suspect that the voltage was somewhat below 12. I bought a small circuit board that boosts the voltage up to 13.8 and the radio works well. I think I got the circuit board off ebay. 73 Jay K3BH On Sun, Sep 23, 2018, at 16:14, David Struebel [email protected] [FT100] wrote:> > > I've found that my FT-100D starts to act up and drop out at about > 11 volts> Dave WB2FTX > > On 9/23/2018 3:51 PM, Roy Ashkenaz roya-b4T0evRm615ZmPDBg+/6q1aTQe2KTcn/@public.gmane.org > [FT100] wrote:>> >> I am running my FT-100D (with WSJT-X etc) off of some 12v >> batteries.
