As u remember, it was sending R as E-N. Thi happened annoyingly occasionally. It wasn't RF. It wasn't a bad ground. It was the auto space feature! the rig's default is EL2. Set this to EL1 (p. 51 in manual) and that annoying problem of ur keyer not keeping up with u or it sending erratic characters like E-N for R will vanish. Mine has FINALLY!

Message-ID: <3BC15B5E.9238.6B7394@localhost> Hi. A few weeks ago, I purchased a used FT-901 DM at a local hamfest. This is the "older" version that does NOT have the WARC bands (12, 17 and 30 M). (Note that Yaesu later came out with a version of the FT-901 that DID include WARC bands. BTW, does anyone know the difference(s) between this later FT-901DM (with WARC) and the FT-902 DM ??? Pictures of their front panes look identical, except for the model name plate.) [I don't have this rig on the air just yet - I am waiting to get some HF radiators up.] Is there an available mod to add WARC bands to the older FT-901DM, in addition to the existing bands? Is there, perhaps, a published construction project to make a transverter to add these bands? If there are any web sites that that describe how to add WARC bands to the older FT-901DM, I would appreciate knowing the URLs. Oh, and one more question. Is the Curtiss keyer in the FT-901DM iambic or not? (This uses the oldest version of the Curtiss 8044 chip, with no suffix. I do know that the 8044ABM - i.e. with suffix "ABM" - is iambic, but I am wondering about the 8044 without any suffix. I am wondering if I should get iambic paddles for this.) Is there any way to use the FT-901DM's internal keyer in a "code practice" mode; i.e. without actually transmitting CW?

Message-ID: <261A3C51B508D511B0A000306E0248BEC0FC93@SMTR-EXH9.LIBERTEL> Ed, You can add any two of the three WARC bands with the INRAD kits using the unused postions of the bandswitch. I also replaced the mixer-panel with a low-noise DBM mixer (I think it was also from Inrad) and had a great radio for many years. I used the FT901-DM with the Microwave 144 MHz transverter. It requires a simple mod to create a high impedance low power output. (I can dig up the docs somewhere). For mods you can see the great mod site at: http://www.mods.dk/index.htm Yes, the keyer is iambic (no dot memory). I think I answered everything. I liked its sound, good keyer and its sharp preselector. It became a victim of one of the summer thunderstorms. :( 73 de Zoli HA1AG > -----Original Message----- > From: Ed Pugh (VA3PU) [mailto:va3pu@rac.ca] > Sent: 08 October, 2001 13:53 > To: yaesu@contesting.com > Subject: [Yaesu] How do I add WARC bands to old FT-901DM? > > > > Hi. > > A few weeks ago, I purchased a used FT-901 DM at a local hamfest. > > This is the "older" version that does NOT have the WARC bands > (12, 17 and 30 M).

After tuning, it would usually begin to rotate as much as several Khz in the opposite direction. I've recently found the fix for this which is quite simple: 1. Remove the rubber skirt on the knob. 2. Loosen the set-screw using an allen wrench and remove the knob. 3. There is a spiral spring wrapped around 2 parts - one being a small plastic washer. 4. Remove the spring by carefully rotating it counter clockwise - it should unscrew and easily slip off of the assembly. 5. Now, make sure the plastic washer is snugly against the part in back of it on the shaft. 6. Next, carefully screw the spring back on by rotating it clockwise as it is being lightly pressed inward. 7. Rotate the spring clockwise, as far as you're able to with your fingers (no tools!). 8. Replace the knob, tighten the set screw, and put the rubber skirt back on. 9.

From these responses, apparently, I am OKay with EPROM vers. 6.00 in my radio. The reason why I asked about this is because I read on the 1kMP reflector about some difficulty with early s/n FT1kDs with regard to the CAT system. I will try to access the archive of this reflector and research further. I do not presently have an interface, but some day would like to build one up, so I was concerned about the possible problem with CAT in FT1kD's.

I know there is the procedure on the manual, bur I've got a little question: can you calibrate it when it's mounted on the tower, with antennas already installed? Doing this with the rotator on the table is not a problem, but when you move it on the tower, the holes you use to fix it will be at specific positions, resulting in a rotation, so you have to do again the job. Probably it's a strange question, but unfortunately this is the first time I install a rotator. Thanks in advance.

The encoder can be replaced by removing the knob to gain access to the nut. Remove the top and bottom covers, remove the two top screws at the sides holding the front panel. Loosen but do not remove the correspnding lower front panel screws. Unplug the line going to the power switch. The front panel will now rotate down. Staring at the wire bundle, I accepted the fact that my eyes have gotten smaller and my hands bigger over the years. So I buttoned up the radio. Here is a simple fix, albeit perhaps temporary, suggested by the Yaesu Service Dept. Use WD40. Remove the rubber main knob cover. Remove the knob by loosening the set screw. (If you unwind the set screw too much, you'll have to take the knob apart (three more screws - don't ask how I know) to retrieve the set screw. Unwind the spring and remove the plastic washer. Set the radio with the face up. Cover the shaft with a paper towel and insert the WD40 extension nozzle on to the opening in the "C" ring clip on the shaft. Spray. Let sit vertically for a while. Replace washer, spring (turn clockwise), knob and rubber cover. At first it was still stiff. About an hour later it loosened up and is back to normal including another turn or so when "spun." I have not had any backlash movement with this radio ever.

Has anybody done this? It doesn't really seem necessary since changing the 100 pf fixed or a 10 pf fixed wouldn't really change the total series capacitance all that much, it would be variable from something to 5 pf instead of somehting to 9.1 pf, unless there are some special properties os the layout of the caps, or unless a 10 pf cap would have different DC-blocking characteristics. I actually think the finals currently in the radio might not be bad. My dad passed the radio down to me in his will. At first I thought he fried the tubes CB-ing. But this weekend was the first chance I had to put the radio through its paces (CQWW) and by Sunday it was delivering 100w on 15m into a dummy load. I think there is a characteristic of tubes that they need to be burned in - maybe he just didn't use the radio at all. -Wiley KF6IIU From wa.tworsx@verizon.net Tue Oct 30 20:50:06 2001 From: wa.tworsx@verizon.net (Vince) Date: Tue, 30 Oct 2001 15:50:06 -0500 Subject: [Yaesu] Re: FT1000 with W1GEE CAT interface References: <047101c160af$f1db29e0$4091d4d1@toshiba> <045901c160e1$32331080$62f1a118@tampabay.rr.com> Message-ID: <3BDF127E.7974B38A@verizon.net> What is the version level of the FT1kD EPROM ?
