BTW: I have a Grant XL and could probably help you with the wires. I have two of them, one is beat up parts radio, the other is the one I am using now and works fine, only mods it's had done is Clarifier Unlock that would have any wires moved around so I am sure I could help you figure out...

I have the schematic and was pretty sure I could figure out where the wires were supposed to go, but it may be more trouble than I think. Haven't powered it up yet, need to replace that missing AM regulator transistor. Been messing around today, may not get to it till tomorrow. It was a...

Bought this used Grant LT for $20. I see it's missing the AM Regulator, so I know that will have to be replaced. other than that I do not know what is up with the radio, have not tried to power it on yet. Inside is this looks to be add-on circuit board, I don't think it's factory. I do not...

In the spirit of this thread, thought I'd share what I repaired today. Last week stopped by a CB shop and the guy had a wall of dead radios in the back room, I had an old Grant XL at home that needed so many parts... I spotted a single Grant XL in the wall of mostly Cobra 29LTD Classics...

Hello everyone, been a while since I been here (2013). Been hamming it up, mostly playing with SDR gear and old Shortwave rigs, not much TX time.... Anyway, a friend brought a 148 GTL D to me that he had jacked up the VCO voltage somehow when trying to do an alignment (I guess going off of...

I hear the Rednecks on 10 meters too, but lots of those yuppie guys in the suburbs with tiny antennas and 100 watts, and $20K rigs. It's not that I am hating on them, just jealous of the money they got to blow on rigs. I probably won't own one of those expensive rigs until they are considered...

I thought the only ones who used 10 meters are: The ones with beacons, beacons, and MORE BEACONS! And Mid-30's to 40's Male Yuppies using $2000 microphones on $20,000 rigs running 100 watts (or some 2000 watts) into antenna's laying on the ground in yuppie suburbs.

Hi all. Been away too long. Finally got around to cleaning up my 101EE again and get some new tubes for it, popped one a while back, not sure why, tube just getting old or mis-tune was likely, as I was in a hurry. I bought a group of used tested good 6JS6C's for it, though they are mismatched...

Help?

I have heard what you are saying as well, that the newest production runs don't drift BADLY, but still drift from cold-hot hot-cold etc, but only as much as might expect from an older radio not made in china. Have you really used it on SSB? You won't notice the drifting on AM really, just on...

Supposedly, if you put a ceramic brick power resistor of just enough resistance to make some heat to the AM/LSB/USB alignment cans in the new Galaxy radios they will stay on freq once warmed up because the heat from the large power resistor keeps the temperature stable in that area of the...

Some people super-glued a fish hook on their D-104's. When it was done at just the right position when you keyed the mic it would hit the chassis of the mic and go "PING!".

Friend has an S9 80 bought it last year worked great until a couple days ago, for no reason we can see the displays for channel and frequency just went all retarded, can't make out what channel or freq your on. I had seen some other posts where people bitched about the LED's burning out, but...

I just read EVERY post in this thread. Just sayin' edit: I also read every post in the QRZ thread. Props to Tom for sharing his experience in that thread. It was very in depth and informative. Now I am off to build a 8 x 2SC2879 amplifier and only drive it to 100 watts per device 40-50...

There is a schematic for the E model on this page, that has handwritten next to the cap in question C151 10. But I didn't see C151 on the parts list in the FT-101E service manual so ??? The Yaesu FT-101E Transceiver Thanks

Yep, C8 is in there, comes off of Pin 8 as well, but right at the pin, then goes to ground at the pin socket ring, then there is a little wire that goes to a standoff with 2 large red colored resistors mounted on it. The busted cap connects to where the largest of the 2 resistors and the wire...

Thanks for the info Jeff, but this capacitor only goes from Pin 8 then to ground, the C109 in that schematic shows it passing through 2 resistors and a choke or something before it connects back to pin 8, so either the schematic is wrong and the part is right, or C109 isn't the right cap (though...

I am having trouble finding a full blown schematic of the PA area of the chassis, only the little part around the final output tubes... This capacitor comes off Pin 8 of the Driver tube and goes to Chassis Gnd. Looking for C109 on the schematics, but to no luck yet thanks.

Ok, I found C13, it was under the "lip" on the edge of the chassis up against the chassis wall and had a piece of clear vinyl hose or something around so I wasn't sure what it was. It has a Yaesu part number on it, checked it with my cap meter, shows good, around 85pf. So now I need to...

Ok, I got this old Yaesu, and it was working good, had a problem when switched to 160 meter blows fuse, found C131, replaced it with 1000pf silver dipped mica cap... Below it is a burned up capacitor, I mean burned up bad. I have seen notes to replace C13 (80pf 1000V) cap, as it could go...
