Well since it seems clear to me that they have some kind of noise being generated if 2 radios are doing the same thing then nothing you do will mater. Making them understand that can be a real chore I have been lucky dealing with this as most of my customers had a level of respect but there are...

THIS HAS BEEN SOLD IT'S NEW HOME GEORGIA.

Yes the FT-2000 is not part of the deal I do have a 2000 but it wont be for sale just yet. I have taken that image off the auction thanks for pointing that out.

Sorry about that I also have an FT-2000 and just latched on to the wrong image.

I decided to sell my FT-1000MP along with the listed extras. Click on the Pardon our interruption to get a look. https://www.ebay.com/itm/277698071833?mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&campid=5336136228&customid=&toolid=10001&mkevt=1

These are nice radios when they are working but they have had numerous issues through the years they were not very reliable in the longevity department. I recently restored one for a customer which included a recap and it was done first because it had so many issues that I needed to know that...

I don't know if anyone will care but there was this maybe little unknown thing Royce did with there radio models that prepared them for the 40ch allocations in 1976 they manufactured the 1-655 23 channel radio with a PLL module that would also be used to create there 40 channel radios at the...

Watch this guy I listen to his videos while I'm repairing at the bench.

Ok what about the variable power control on the front of the radio does it vary the power levels when adjusted? I assume you mean the circuit board not the CPU board, Anyway there should not be 13+ volts on all three legs so I assume you have tested the (2SB754Y) this being the main modulated...

Nothing to be ashamed of you have everything you need to be efficient at component level trouble shooting there are many that have a lot less that would love to have your bench.

This is the Bench I have now this little bench does me right repaired over 200 radios and amps since we got here 2 years ago was in Indiana were here in Iowa now..

Well I didn't mean to upset the community I was merely stating that some use the word "locked" to mean the transmit frequency will always be right on 27.385 "Hopefully" drifting aside, others us "locked" to mean "Receive and Transmit" are locked together. I usually just say, Yes grasshopper we...

There seems to be different use of terminology on different posts but you are ok with Receive and Transmit frequency moving together at the same time. Just clarifying some call modifying the clarifier for equal tracking of REC & XMIT Frequency unlocked and some call it locked. Just making sure...

To troubleshoot the modulation issue, let's try removing only transistor TR24. Based on the schematic, TR24 is the only component directly linked to the microphone, so removing TR25 should not be necessary at this stage to reinstate modulation. I still could be true that TR25 circuit is at issue...

For that radio to perform its best, the alignment will be far more effective if the clarifier is modified to control both the transmit (TX) and receive (RX) frequencies simultaneously. In other words, when you adjust the clarifier, it should shift both frequencies together to keep them in sync...

I use a Rigol TS-815-TG spectrum analyzer frequently, and I'm confident you would be very happy with one. It's an incredibly powerful tool for component-level troubleshooting. Once you learn to use it with a probe to directly observe frequencies, you'll find yourself wondering, "How did I ever...

I found this format in my old teaching aids from my golden days at community college, I went ahead and modified it some it may help and i may not but I offered it anyway. If you find mistakes feel free to correct them. I will take a look at the schematic and see what could be the issue with...

I don't use this particular device but I do use a scope for this and sometimes I use a spectrum analyzer depending on what I'm trying accomplish I also have an old Heathkit VTVM that I use with an RF probe and I really like it. So there you go. I have been using these kinds of equipment for...

Ok here is a Word doc. with all that mess in it sorry didn't know I had this I have about 1500 schematics on my new Computer system and still have not had time to look at it all.

OK BELOW IS ALL THE INFO I HAVE SORRY IT'S IN SEVERAL POSTS AS IT WAS TO LONG AND I DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO BREAK IT DOWN IN ONE FILE.
