Subject: [Amps] No grid current meter on FL-2100B?
I'm trying to help a friend (in another state) convert his Yaesu FL-2100B
from 572Bs to GI7-BTs. I just noticed that there is no grid current meter!
Is there an easy way to convert the SWR meter to monitor grid current? A
Google search turned up nothing about adding grid current monitoring to the
FL-2100*.
TIA.
73, Mike
## I had a 2100B back in the 70s. Myself and several other 2100B owners
noticed the
swr meter was semi useless. The indicated swr rose as the po increased. I
once heard
an old geezer remark to his buddy that he never ran it more than 400w pep out,
since at 600w
pep out, the swr increased too much ! Re-using the swr position as a grid
meter would be a
superb idea...and use an external, real swr meter outboard. Is there an online
2100B schematic
available ? This may well be doable.
