(S/No OPO4****) The sensitivity above 14Mhz appeared to have dropped off by a factor of 12 - 15dbs. I suspected the fault was induced during a contest where my rig was used as a "spotter station". Using a white noise generator that appears "flat" in output on other rigs confirmed the above conditions - it appeared to be a bandpass filter problem and I suspect the 1SS83 pin diodes - HOWEVER on checking that they were switching OK the "fault" went away again ! I don't think it was a connector problem. Does anyone have experience of the reliability of these diodes and is it worth replacing them if the fault shows itself again at a later date ?

When I first power it up I get no audio with the EDSP switched in. Audio is fine with the EDSP switched off. Eventually after a couple of hours the EDSP audio will again function, although sometimes when it first starts up the rx audio sounds overloaded and distorted. This is cured by a quick power off and on again. When the EDSP is not functioning no manner of knob switching, blipping of the ptt, etc etc will restore it. Any one got any ideas Martin G3ZQU g3zqu@btinternet.com.

The best choice seems to be the DVS-2 input on the back panel. However, this not seem to work out of the box - possibly because the CNTL-1 and CNTL-2 lines need to be manipulated before the sound will actually be transmitted. Does any one know what these two control lines do?

References: <200109181605.f8IG59h14832@contesting.com> Message-ID: <3BA7A65F.2C8DA8AA@wsanders.net> Thanks for the responses - I found the list but there doesn't seem to have been any activity since Aug 7. I guess my FT-101's days are numbered. My unit badly needs alignment - the LO uses different circuits to set freq on trans and recv on each band, my FT-101 is off 0 to 350 hz between T & R, depending on the band - I have only a VTVM and frequency counter for tools so I'm not too confident about being able to get it in tune any better than it is. I also inherited the unit from by dad who bless his heart seems to have used the rig for AM CB ops and nearly toasted the finals, I have only about 10 W output on 15 and 10. Right now the front runner for replacement is a TenTec Jupiter. Alignment is easy - download new software :-) And how can you go wrong with a rig made in the USA, on Dolly Parton Parkway. -wiley KF6IIU From k0bx@qsl.net Tue Sep 18 21:17:53 2001 From: k0bx@qsl.net (k0bx@qsl.net) Date: 18 Sep 2001 13:17:53 -0700 Subject: [Yaesu] Re: Where is the Fox_tango list these days? Message-ID: <20010918201753.19075.cpmta@c012.sfo.cp.net> Wiley, the FT-101 series has always be a very good transceiver. But like any transceiver it has some qurks. To set the T & R is pretty simple. But I no longer have my rig and my memory fails me. The process was to hook a counter to the external vfo plug, it should read in the 8 MHZ range. When you go from T & R, you will see how much the vfo shifts. To get it to be the same on T & R, there is a (this is the part I forget) pot on the power supply board that is attached to the final cage. It is used to adjust the voltage (like 5 volts). This pot does not have a knob on it, it is one that you have to use a tool on, you adjust it, in xmit until the freq on the counter is the same on receive as xmit. I don't have a manual, so all from memory, although I have done this many times on many FT-101's. Maybe this will jog someone else mine that can give you more detail. Just don't try adjusting the LO on each band as this is not the problem of T & R not on the same freq.

I would like to determine whether the optional PIN diode update was done. This might seem a strange question, but is anyone out there able to describe the appearance of the PIN diodes that Yaesu installs, or conversely the appearance of the stock diodes (BPF switching circuitry within shield on RF unit board)?

I have a 100D installed in my van about 3 feet from my Pro-Am 20 meter whip, The whip is mounted on the van's bumper. I have not yet installed a ground between the rig and the van's chassie. I notice in CW the keyer occasionally hesitates, mis-sending a letter. i suspect RF from the nearby antenna is getting into the rig's keyer. i have tried dropping the power from 100 to 20 watts to c if that solves the problem, but it doesn't seem to. i'm also wondering if the auto space feature of the 100D in CW might be the culprit. Any suggestions? Like move my antenna farther away from the rig? or is it more complicatd than tha? being disabled, it ain't easy moving antennas around.
