    Yaesu FT-101E repair

    A short time after he posted, he edited the post to remove his images...... With the reason that "No one is interested" I had responded with Have a little patience. I think new users are under the impression that the forum is manned 24/7 for radio technical support and many users here also...

    Texas star dx667v turbo mod

    The 667 used a single 2290 to drive 4 2879 transistors. Later models used two mosfets in place of the 2290. If your amp has a 2879 as a driver it has been modified. We have to remember that these were " designed" for older radios that struggled to reach 3.5-4 watts output with 12-16 watt peaks...
