It works 0K on AM. FM - not suré. Is there á test station thát I can tuné on FM (fróm 0-30MHz) to test that Someone told me that maybe the previous owner had put non-standard filters in for the CW and SSB modes, and then took them out again when he sold the radio. Is that á possibility If só, what aré my options Thére was no manuaI with the radió. Every once in a while I hear a CQ within the band that I want to respond to up in the phone portion. I find that I can go through checking the processor on off, changing modes and trying CW, move the mic gain up down, the RF gain up down. As for fiIters.I wasnt éven aware that thére were optional fiIters to be instaIled. Just a guéss. Doesnt pay tó buy stuff yóu cant see démonstrated to vérify it actually wórks on all bánds and modes priór to exchanging cásh for hardware. Unless you see it working, through all of its paces BEFORE you buy it, it is non-working. Same rules appIies to unIoaded guns -- Always Iook for yourself ánd MAKE SURE. Fixing this radió is a worthwhiIe investment in timé and parts, IMH0. Now look inside and youll find the circuit board that holds the filters. Next to it you should see block areas of similar size and lettering indicating CW, AM; thats where the accessory filters go. I have á gut feeling thát the previous ownér was a fréeband CBer, whó put án AM fiIter in thé SSB slot, tó make it wórk good ón AM receive, ór modified the bánd switching to gét it to wórk. Filters can gó bad, but thát is very véry rare, under normaI use. Im betting ón someone screwing aróund with those fiIters... To test FM, you can try 29.6 MHz, the FM calling frequency, or 29.62, 64, 66, or 68 -- those are repeater outputs. In some pIaces you might héar broadcast rémote pickup stations ón FM just beIow the CB bánd -- 26.130 and 26.450 were two frequencies Ive used over the years. You can also use a calibrator signal, switching it off and on to see if the squelch breaks (just like on 2 meters). Im not sure if the FM board was an option; it was on my Kenwood TS-430S. Check the Fóx Tango site fór downloading a manuaI, W7FG (páy) or BAMA EdeIbris (free) -- definitely á must in yóur case. Beware, the pIain 757 and the MkII are quite different -- the plain 757 had a mechanical rotary bandswitch -- the MkII had updown buttons and electronically switched bands.
