MC85

MOD FOR MC-85 MIC AND RC-1A PHONE PATCH
I am a Ham Radio Operator (call signed 4Z4MJ).  My station is
exclusively Kenwood (TS-940s, TL-922, TR-2400, TR-7950, MC-
85, and the PC-1A phone patch) and I'm very content of having
the honor to belong to the Kenwood family.
In Israel, I work as an electronic design engineer and on my
free time, I'm always anxious to solve design problems and
add my own modifications to the shack.  I would like to
present you the modifications I have made and hope they might
be helpful.  (The mods deal with the MC-85 microphone and the
PC-1A phone patch; I enclose them with this letter and
emphasize the changes with the yellow marker,  So let's
start........
When I purchased my TS-940S with the MC-85 microphone, I was
very happy with the 940 but sad about the 85.  The problem
was R.F. feedback when I was touching the microphone's goose-
neck with my hand, (or when the linear was on, it happened
without even having to touch the mic).
