    Yaesu Low output power.

    I have a Yaesu ft-102 Transceiver. It has the AM/FM Board installed. The trouble I am having is on AM with low transmit output power. Yes, it is on 11 meters.

    Discharging capacitors,

    I know where you are coming from CK, I also got woke up by the caps and bleeders on my Henry 2K. Learned over it with the lid off and on with just a t-shirt on to close the window.

    YAESU FT-102 technical supplement

    025 I am not talking about it. This was back in 2013 when I posted. I suppose the person that gave me the info and paperwork has his reasons. Maybe just maybe he didn't want to see all the ft-102's be bought up and converted to 11 meters by cber's? And have them destroyed by someone who doesn't...

There is no way I would ever add those mods to an FT-102. There are two ways I myself would only use to add 11 meters to the FT-102. And neither way...

    Discharging capacitors,

    I am sure this question has been asked before. I have a Yaesu ft-102 Transceiver. And was wondering what parts I would need to buy in order to build something to safely be able to discharge the high voltage capacitors? I am kind of getting tired of being electrocuted. Even after turning off and...

    USED YAESU FT-101ex

    Thanks for the info. I did not try to transmit due to SWR. I thought it would be a good candidate for someone to restore or just clean it up and use it. 73,
