开云体育Thanks Roger, just grabbed it!I have a 46 inch flat panel monitor, which makes it very easy for me to zoom in and out and navigate the large jpeg image, which I do indeed prefer to the pdf version (I have Adobe reader). I don't believe I'll need to print it out, as that is a little more difficult with these old eyes.? It reminds me of a folded schematic I have that goes with one of my old Galaxy V transceivers.? It's about 2 1/2' tall and 4' wide, so I had to hang it in front of me and it sure took up a lot of real estate! ?? The saga of my hard of hearing EX model continues.? I checked out the bulb fuse and it was fine.? I then removed the HF board, cleaned the edge connector and and RF mosfet? (3N211) socket and still weak receive.? Then, following a well made YouTube video, checked the? mosfet with a DMM and it seemed to respond well, so I guess I won't need to replace it.? I suppose now it's time to jump in with both feet and follow the signal path after I read up a little more on how it's processed. For anyone reading this who'd like to chime in, here's where I am so far.? with a small length of wire in the antenna socket, I can barely hear my signal generator on 7.100 with no S meter movement.? When I connect the sig gen directly to the wire, it gets much louder and the S meter moves up about halfway.? The VFO seems to work fine and is accurate, as I can tune back and forth.? However, turning the preselector has zero effect in the volume or meter movement, so something is amiss there.? I'll probably post this on the Facebook group as well.? I know I'm not the first one to go down this road...haha! Thanks Roger and everyone, Richard kn7sfz On 2/3/2023 9:56 AM, Roger VE7LB wrote:
Hi Richard, I suppose that you don't have a good pdf reader as the FT-101E_Late_Schematic.pdf in the files section is high res 11 x 30 inches. I just added a jpeg version of the same file in the same folder. You could put the pdf version on a usb stick and take it to one of the printers (Kinkos?) and get a full 11 x 30 inch printed. |
