why does my mvs 1fz board pick up radio???

jimc787 · Dec 10, 2009

Yeah i know i know but i'm being serious. was going to consolize the board and decided to hook it up to my supergun since i haven't used it in a while. Then i realized i would get a couple sounds from the slug 3 it had in it mixed with a local radio station playing weezer. Also he sync is out on it and follows the boardany ideas? All that i have done to it is the stereo mod which i will most likely undo.

:conf:

Yes i am serious.

edit: i'm not on drugs either

no you are not mad,many years ago i heard voices in a slot machine and then realised it was the local taxi office comms coming through the speaker
the only thing i could think that may help would be ferrite cores

you must be very close to a high power transmitter

better still find the transmitter and blow it up

Here is an idea...

Find a hair metal station and play some Slug to hair rock. Would be pretty awesome

My guess is somehow in your mod you basically created an antenna through the wires, and once the unit is powered on, it acts as an amplifier, that is picking up signals.

Pretty strange though

Well at least you guys don't think i' nuts. I know i did the mod right removed the resistors and all as well. Not really close to a radio station though. but the sync?

Can you explain a little clearer as to what the sync is doing? Some people have said that the FZ has a very strong sync signal and can be fixed by putting a pot in line.

I heard sound interference from my board as well. Not radio signals though. The company I bought it from it going to send me a replacement sounds amp, so hopefully that will fix it.

Loose cap or grounding possibly?

Heck, a bad solder joint can do that too. A crystallized solder joint can act just like an old crystal detector.
