So the sub-rx in both the FT-1000 and the FT-1000D "goes dead" when you select the sub-rx CW filter, unless this optional filter has been installed. Yaesu saved the cost of a couple of diodes, which could have steered the signals around this empty filter position. I have a basic FT-1000 (non-D), but my receiver does not go dead in the 250Hz and 2.0 KHz positions - even though I have none of the optional filters installed. That is, my rx is 'live at all 4 BW settings. This must mean that all FT-1000s come with all of their respective filters in the *2nd* IF. 73, Steven - N5SK -----Original Message----- From: k3ky@erols.com [mailto:k3ky@erols.com] Sent: Tuesday, March 05, 2002 3:44 AM To: Barry Kirkwood; Yaesu@contesting.com Subject: Re: [Yaesu] FT 1000 : Date of manufacture?

(Murata CFJ-455K mounted on a Yaesu plug-in filter board- the ceramic unit is obvious because of its smaller size) As evidence of this, I would point out that 2 of the 4 filters in the 2nd IF are soldered in (i.e. 'standard'). Also, these 2 filters, the SSB standard and the CW wide units, do not have the "XF-n" identifiers. The other 6 filter positions in the radio are designed to accept plug-in (accessory) filters, including 2 in the 2nd IF. I think I have it in writing here somewhere. I am still looking for the older literature. At some point, Yaesu must have upped the price on the non-D radios and made the 2.0KHz (XF-A) and the 250 Hz (XF-B) 2nd If filters standard- but they do plug in, the other 2 do not. I have a May 97 Yaesu price list and it lists XF-A and XF-B as standard in the non-D radio. Of course, by that time, list price for the 'stripped down' version was USD 4,399.00. :o) List price for the FT-1000D was 5,459.00. It adds XF-C, 3nd IF 2.4KHz, XF-D, 3rd IF 2.0KHz, YF-110C (was XF-E), 3rd IF 500Hz, and YF-110CN (was XF-F), 3rd IF 250Hz. And today, of course, only the FT-1000D is still offered. The 250Hz 3rd IF filter has always been an option, even in the "D" version. Same for the sub-rx 600Hz CW filter (XF-455MC). I still suspect there may be some early FT-1000's out there that might 'go dead' in the 2.0KHz and 250Hz BW settings. I can think of no practical way to tell which 3rd IF crystal filters might be in the radio, other than to open it (that was one of the 3 original questions in this thread). Still loving my FT-1000 (now upgraded to a "D"). Best radio I have ever had the pleasure to own. 73, David K3KY On 6 Mar 2002 at 23:42, Barry N1EU wrote: > That's correct - all the filters in the 2nd if are standard but not > the 3rd if.

Sooo, as a result of the local ham swap, I'm the new owner of decent looking FT-101. Has far as I can tell its somewhat of a late model unit as it has 160m. I didnt get the acc plug with it ( this is the plug that makes it xmit -- some of the pins on the acc connector need to be shorted.) Also, the panel lights are out (16v bayonet bulbs). Receive seems pretty good... though I just used a short wire for the antenna. I noted there are a few mods -- the schematic has some notes, but I havent deciphered it all yet. There is a new 1/8" jack on the rear which is wired into a spot near the ALC setting.. I'm not sure what this is for. (Unfortunately, a 1/4" microphone jack was added to the front panel.. oh well, its not too noticable -- I didnt tell I got it home.) Its possible that the capicator mod has been done for to use non-JA tubes. There are some notes on that. Anyhow.. I've been poking around on the web trying to learn more about the radio.. and I've see a few sites, but not really alot of info or sources. Anyhow, anyone have any ideas on where to get an ACC plug and panel lamps? I'm also thinking of getting a new AC and DC plug (though I may rewire the AC cord.)

I bought a DC power cord for about $35. So it is worth calling Yaesu directly if you want to get original parts. Did the rig come with an operating manual? I can send you schematics for the radio. Let me know via email and I will send that - I could copy the whole manual for whatever it would cost to copy and mail - probably $6 or 7 or so - although I don't want to get into the old manual business :-) As a matter of fact - I might take this opportunity to ask the group if htey know of any alternative neutralization schemes other than the one mentioned in the manual. I've installed New Old Stock 6JS6Cs without doing the capacitor mod. I asked around on the lists when I first got the tubes and nobody responded about the theory behin the mod - if you run through the calculations the widely distributed "neutralization mod" actually doesn't change the capacitance - it just makes the adjustment less "twitchy" and adjsts the 2 caps in series in such a way that if the air varible shorts out the capacitance falls back to a more reasonable value. Following the procedure in the manual, I can get about 60W out of mine with the NOS tubes. For some reason, lately, my plate current has jumped up 50ma. limiting the amount of power I can run without roasting the tubes - and I am wondering if this is due to some kind of misalignent in the final stage or whether some other kind of component failure is responsible (like maybe the IC shunt circuit itself is flaky.) A couple of other gotchas I was wondering about - I think my FT-101 is in pretty good shape but still needs some alignment: - Most of the inductors in my FT-101 are frozen. The coils are full of congealed paraffin. Is there a way to unstick them? - The trimmer caps for 80m are inaccessible, under the lip of the wraparound side panel. Do I have to take the case off to get to these caps or is there a special trick? - The fox-tango list on qth.net seems to be completely inactive - I get messages from time to time saying I'm subscribed, but I never see any traffic.

My only experience with the use of a monitor scope was many years ago, and that involved a Heathkit SB610, which included a tuned tank circuit for the radio's I.F. Are the Yaesu monitor scopes universal or are they configured for a specific radio's I.F. ?

Are there two slightly different names for the same filter, or is the XF-90B a different one? Thank you, Uli, DK2BC From R_Davis" Message-ID: Hi Jeff, If you can get her running good, the FT-101 (especially the E,EE,EX models), is a terrific rig. I still use mine after 25 years. With proper care, I am still using the tubes installed in 1977 and it will still do 125-175 watts, depending on the band. Hopefully yours hasn't been hacked or cooked by a CBer. They did indeed work very well on CB (if it had the AM filter), but if it is keyed down with more than 150mA for more than 10 seconds, it'll burn the finals up and maybe some of the inductors. 1. The ACCessory plug is needed to jumper pins 1 and 2 to apply heater voltage to the 6JS6C's. It also accesses the HV's (600, 300, 160, -100V), the transmit/receive relay - ground on transmit and ground on receive, and is the ALC input from a linear ie FL2100B. They are offered on EBay all the time. 2. Can't tell you much about the lamps, I haven't had to replace any yet. (Where is that block of wood I knock on?) I know the one over the VFO is supposed to be a bear to get to. I is a 14V, 40 mA wire lead type. You have to remove the main tuning knob and the escutcheon which is held by 2 screws. The other 3 are indeed 16V bayonet types. I would would check with Radio Shack. You might get lucky (R.S. doesn't seem to have much anymore). Yes I said 3 - There is one for the meter, one for the dial, and one in the rear near the RF jack which is used as an RF fuse to protect the front end from damage in the presence of too strong of a nearby signal. 3. I found a 12 pin Cinch-Jones plug for the power at a local electronics shop, and made my own DC Power cord. You will need the schematic as it is internally jumpered on several pins so the same plug can be used on AC and DC. BE CAREFULL!!! The Cinch-Jones plug fits and looks identical, but the pin numbers are reversed from the Japanese version. It is a mirror image. So you can have your own fireworks if you wire it up like the book shows. 4. I HIGHLY and STRONGLY recommend getting the Service Manual, sometimes available on EBay, and some other Amateur Radio manual vendors such as A.G. Tannenbaum's may have it. Also there was the Fox Tango Club that put out newletters from 1972 to 1985. Around then, International Radio took over and they sell back issues. You can get the whole library for $65.00. You will learn a lot if you read them through. Have fun and good luck. 73's, Rick WD8JJA ----- Original Message ----- From: To: Sent: Monday, March 11, 2002 12:02 PM Subject: Yaesu digest, Vol 1 #146 - 1 msg > Send Yaesu mailing list submissions to > yaesu@contesting.com > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/yaesu > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > yaesu-request@contesting.com > > You can reach the person managing the list at > yaesu-admin@contesting.com > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of Yaesu digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1. new member with a ft-101...

Fyi.. I put in lamps from radio shack .. the radio shack ones were 14v/200ma. They also had some that were 240ma. Seems to work just great. (http://pages.sbcglobal.net/jlc/ft-101.html shows them (but please ignore the work-in-progress vistor counter.) I was able to put the meter and vfo lamps in from the top cover. The RF "fuse" lamp was ok. I think the schematic calls out four lamps.. I dunno where the other one is. More questions... Is "Radio101" in WA history? Their email on http://www.qth.com/examples/ft101/ doesnt work. (and no phone number listed) Is there a decent place to get parts? (e.g. like the square knob tabs for the carrier and rfgain pots.) Also... I notice the FT-101 has a bare aluminum front panel trim ring, with a greenish front panel. The -B model has a gray panel with painted trim ring. I was able to get the early matching speaker, and I'm wondering about the other accessories.. like the YO-100... were these available in the early trim?

Actually, I found the problem last night. Here is the story. This person acquired the rig from a CB'er and all the crystals were removed. My friend (a HAM) installed one crystal he had for 10 meters, and he installed it in the AUX position. Well my assumption was that since the rig was from a CB'er, that the brown wire had been already cut. After quite a bit of tracing, I saw the wire was "still" intact. I moved the crystal to the proper holder and behold, I now have output. Lucky I checked under the final cage, because someone had removed the final cage relay and the retaining clip had fallen down near the base if the finals. That could have posed a severe problem if it shorted the screen voltage to another component.

I also used a soldering pencil and recently tried one of those new micro-flame torches; they have a "flame diffuser" in the tip, but you still need to be careful. I use it to remove the cans from hermetically sealed crystals and Collins mechanical filters. Incidentally, I make plug cords for Johnson transmitters for the coaxial relay output socket out of them. Drill a hole in the end of the crystal, melt the solder at the base, remove the can, solder some zip cord on the terminals, solder it back together and silicone the cord to the can so it doesn't cut through the wire. Works great, but make sure you have the right size crystal, pin spacing and pin size before you start. Tom Laird WC9M Moline, IL.

Should it be cut? > > thanks The "brown" wire shorted the input to the driver stage in the 11 Meter (AUX) bandswitch position to prevent the FT-101E from transmitting on 11 meters. If, for example, one were to replace the 11 Meter crystal with one for 12 Meters, it would be necessary to cut the brown wire to enable transmit on 12 Meters. As I recall, it was possible to enable 30, 17 and 12 Meters on the FT-101E with a little work (WWV/JJY was 10 Meters, AUX became 17 Meters, and 11 became 12 Meters). Inrad (www.qth.com/inrad) may still have the crystals and instructions originally distributed by Fox Tango. 73, ...

After taking off the cover, I saw an obvious problem, one of the secondary AC leads had become unsoldered from the bridge rectifier. I removed all the leads and checked the diodes individually and they were OK. Resoldered the leads and brought the supply up on a Variac to see if anything was shorted. All looked OK, but only had about 8 volts output. Checked the four pass transistors, all OK. next the regulator board, the driver transistor is OK, but the TA7089M regulator IC appears to be bad. So now I'm at a stopping point, I can't locate an IC or replacement. I did find one place that had them, but they have a $50.00 min. order. Anybody have one of the regulator IC's? It is an 8 pin circular linear regulator. Yaesu also uses them on the FT-901/902 and maybe 101ZD rectifier board in those rigs.

After finding out the average and max current draw on the supply, I would design a circuit with a different linear regulator and likely a pass transistor and heat sink, and patch it into the supply. This of course assumes that you have the radio is for its utility, rather than collector value. I'm sure many collectors would not want to change the radio in any way. 73, David K3KY From akim@ptq.pemex.com Tue Mar 26 14:20:31 2002 From: akim@ptq.pemex.com (Lic.
