Pete,
Thanks for this.
I think that I will try the Radio shack option.
The whine appears when I transmit in or out of the aircraft. The radio
works fine without the headset. ("You'd think" that if the manufacturer
supplies an adapter then it is designed for use with headset..). The radio
works fine with only the Rx through the headset and Tx from the internal
radio mic.
I have done all the right things like turn off the radio mike to avoid feed
back and tried with a variety of headsets - I even had to read the manual
which is something I am against doing on principle.
Will

Morning Will
There seem to be two sorts one which is a component and is actually
connected in series with the wire and another that simply wraps around the
outside of the cable those are the bumps on the PC cables (I think). I
would ask Yaesu for more information (make and model number and where in the
set up it goes) I would guess round the headset cable to cut out the stray
hum. Radios are strange things, the one that has always worked most
reliably for me has been my Icom handheld (Now 15 years old) with or without
headset plugged in.
Good luck.
Pete
If it whines when away from the aeroplane you could take to whole setup to
say Radio Shack and try the fix in the shop.

Thanks Pete
The radio is a self contained handheld. It has an adapter for use with
headphones. It works fine without headset but when you use the adapter you
get the whine. The yaesu email help desk said use this ferrite choke thing
(I now know what they mean) but not where to put it.. I am assuming that the
ferrite choke would go on the headset cable?
Is it the same thing as you get round laptop power cables?

Hi Will
A ferrite choke is a coil of wire wound onto a ferrite rod. It has the
effect of passing DC ok but offering a high resistance to AC. If you put it
in the supply line to whatever an Aviator Pilot is it stops the stray AC
getting through and kills the whine.
Regards
Pete

Has anyone "plumbed in" opne of these portables. I think I saw one
attached to a panel but I can't remember where.
Apparently it is not as simple as just connecting the headset and an antenna
extension. You get a strong whine through the headset. I am told by Yaesu
helpdesk that you need a ferrite choke. Not wishing to appear ignorant.but
what the hell is a ferrite choke?
Will
