At the moment I have omnirig successfully integrated with the FT-950 and the SDRplay. The SDRplay is connected to the scope port on the FT-950 board. I have the IF set at 69.450.000. As long as I'm zoomed all the way in the frequencies are accurate. If you begin to zoom out though the frequency...

I have a Yaesu FL-2000b that works other than the input SWR is high on 20m and in outer space on 10m. I was able to get 80m, 40m and 15m all below 2:1. 20m I can't get below 3.5:1 and 10m is so high it's hard to tell if it's 6:1 or more. I've focused on 10m so far since it's the worst. Both of...

I have a MAGNUM Omegaforce s45HP that I acquired a while back that works perfectly fine except for two issues. The first is no modulation with the stock mic. I'm going to ignore this issue for the time being until I can verify the mic works. The radio works fine with the cobra mic connector...

Does anyone now what ACC pins on the FT-101E are used for muting an external receiver i.e. FL-101, FRG-7 etc? The manual doesn't specify...at least not that I can find. Thanks

This is just a quick question about antenna selection on the Yaesu FRG-7. On other receivers like the Drake R8 or the Kenwood R-1000 you have the ability to choose between two antennas (antenna A and antenna B). A switch on the Kenwood and a button on the Drake for instance. So, how does that...

I have an FT-101E that's been recapped, aligned, and has a strong set of tubes that have been neutralized and put out full output on all bands. Everything is operational except for a pronounced hum on transmit. I was hoping for some insight on how I should proceed in tracking down the source or...

I need some guidance regarding LSB on an FT-101E. It transmits and receives approximately 3.25 -3.5 khz above the given frequency. This was confirmed over the air as well as with a seperate radio nearby. USB and AM transmit and receive correctly. I can't find anything in the service manual that...

I would like to be able to operate the same antenna from an upstairs location as well as a downstairs location. Only one location would ever be in use at a time. The unused coax would be disconnected and capped. Would a simple tee do the trick or is there something better? Also, if a tee is used...

This is a general question about AM output on an FT-101E. I had a discussion with a local yokel that claimed that he can get his FT-101E to key 20 watts while keeping it at the recommended 150mA i.c. and that it'll swing to 100 watts PEP using an amplified D104. I called BS. He's doing it on 11m...

What causes the grid on a final output tube to go negative in respect to the cathode upon transmit and what would prevent this from happening? The reason for my question is that I have a Regency Range Gain that will only key .75 watts and swing to 1.5 watts rather than the 1.6 watts swinging to...

I have a Regency Range Gain that is in excellent condition and freshly recapped. The resistance at the tube pins is spot on and the only resistors with issues were the two at the caps and the 27ohm resistor that runs from the bridge rectifier to the cap; which was blown. All were replaced and...

Does anyone happen to know Amphenol's part number for the 4 Pin male mic connector that was used on the Regency Range Gain? Thanks!

I have a Yaesu FT-101E (late model) that initially had both transmit and receive problems but I've since corrected the receive issues with a thourough cleaning of the RL-1 and RL-2 relays. Now it receives as it should and will key and unkey properly. During the tune up process no i.c. value...

I have a Yaesu FT-101E with multiple issues but the battle I'm fighting at the moment is on the receive front. I identified the problem as being associated with the RL-1 relay. After a thourough cleaning I was able to get receive in all modes (no receive in AM and low in CW before) however the...

I picked up this cb used with no mic. I was able to determine that it was wired for a Midland and everything worked except for there was no modulation. It would receive and transmit a carrier (confirmed with a local 7 miles away) but there was no modulation. Upon advice from this same local it...
