[amsat-bb] Alinco DJ-580

[Wendy and Terry Osborne]

Hi Folks,

I’m trying to resurrect my old Alinco DJ-580 for use on AO-85/91.
When using the DC supply socket on the side with a 9 V plug pack, 
I’m finding that the Rx audio output is very low (the nicad pack has at least 1 dead cell).

Is anyone still using one of these radios and if so how well does it perform?
