PCI MAX enclosure

Hello, I was wondering if the PCI MAX external enclosure (shown here: http://www.pcs-electronics.com/3000-acc ... p-831.html ) comes with the Miniature LCD display with VU meter, or does it need to be purchased separately?

Good news everyone! (And you just realized you read that in the professors voice) That fix works 100%. I performed the fix (without adding the 470uF capacitor) and every frequency I tested is clean. I also have not seen any ill side effects... -Power output remains unchanged -Audio quality is just a...

AnotherBrian, I have found that 91.7 and 93.9 and pretty clean. 87.9, 97.7 and 104.7 are pretty bad. Those are the only frequencies that I can test in the area, but some are better than others.

I'm pretty handy with a soldering iron, I would be interested in looking at that PDF if you got one. Send it to Cjaiceman 'at' gmail 'dot' com

I had a 100uF/25v laying around, and it does reduce the tone, but it does not get rid of it. I will try a 470uF when I get a chance to go out.

Ha, just my luck, to get the one that starts a chain reaction forcing a new problem to be solved. Good to hear that there is an easy fix though. I might venture out tomorrow (but I doubt it due to a major snow storm in the area) to pick one of those up from Radio Shack. This does raise one question ...

So I tried taking the unit (outside of a PC) about 20 miles away from the house, and ran it directly off of a car battery (not the one in the vehicle) and used a 3rd laptop, using the included antenna outside the vehicle I get the same tone on the vehicle's stereo. The only conclusion I can make of ...

Ok, so here is an update. I have found that if I apply more transmitter power (75%+) the tone goes away, however 5% to 70% the tone is present and is audible on all frequencies. Some frequencies are more pronounced than others. I have tried several power supplies and have measured the voltage on the...

PCI MAX 3000+ v2 high pitch tone

When I play it in mono the tone goes away and I get full quiet. Things I have tried are 3 different power sources (2 external 12v/...
