I'm fixing up an old FT101B and am down to the last problem - very low output on 10M. I've tracked it down to the T105 variable coil; the slug is stuck in a (probably) bad position - I suspect from s
I have a FTdx560 (very similar to FTdx400) whose 15M operation is dead. I have tracked the problem down to the band crystal. I tried injecting the necessary frequency (26.72 MHz) into the rig's oscil
FTdx560 I've been working on is getting closer to fully operational, but one problem I'm not sure about - in CW/TUNE the drive to the finals is quite low - max out ~50 watts. Put tone into mic jack a
Can the FT767's 70CM module be toggled between the two applicable 10 MHz ranges, or is it fixed to one or the other? 73 Dave WB0GAZ dgf@netcom.com -- FAQ on WWW: http://www.qsl.net/k7on/yaesu.html Su
A good friend of mine in JA has found out that it is possible to add bandpass filters of FT1000D to the FT1000MP, allowing concurrent cross-band receive in the FT1000MP. Masa, JO2AJT, obtained this i
Masa asked me to forward this message to the list; he is planning on visiting WB0GAZ QTH in Denver, Colorado during the weekend of the September VHF QSO party. He is arriving about 9/13/1998 and stay
I'm resurrecting an old FT 560 transceiver. Things are going well, but the main S meter itself seems to be dead. I've got a 1 mA meter in the circuit and it is showing received signal strength and tr
I looked closely at the S meter on the FT560 and I was AMAZED to see that is really is "backwards reading" - stronger signal moves the S meter to the LEFT, not the right. I wasted much of this aftern
I picked up a as-is FTdx560 at Dayton. I've gotten it running except for no operation on 15M (the xtal is dead) and no CW/Tune carrier out (still don't know why)... Anyway, I ordered a replacement ma
It _is_ a big deal for this reason - Yaesu has evidently CHOSEN not to put a transverter port on the FT847. This means you now have to deal with 50 watts of RF to somehow get rid of when you convert
Well, it is regrettable if this is the case that 222 and 1296 MHz are not supported by FT847, and that it appears the 847 will have no transverter port. -- FAQ on WWW: http://www.qsl.net/k7on/yaesu.
My FT736 1.2 GHz module has developed low output power at the upper band edge (and to a lesser extent at the lower band edge). By low I mean 3-4 watts CW or PEP, when 10 was expected, within 10 MHz o
FT101B uses 6JS6 finals; a rig I'm restoring has very dead final tubes. I've heard some stories about how picky the rig is to "real japanese 6JS6 tubes" and such... True? I'm not into authenticity on
Dick, there has been some chatter on rec.radio.amateur.equipment about the HT, and I bought one when they first came out. Here's the bad news: 1. The memory firmware is REALLY bad... you have to choo
