Re: FT-101ZD intermittent reduced output on 80m only

Hi Alex,

Call it an educated guess if you like, but I believe that C9 in the output tank section, is defective (ceramic, 100pF, 3kV rating cap).

?

73, Jacques, VE2JFE in Montreal

?

SYMPTOMS:

- Full output power (sometimes) on 80m only.

- Reduced output power only at ca. 50% intermittently (sometimes) and on 80m only.

- All other bands operate normally.

?

* When this does occurs, have to adjust the "Plate" to extreme left (out of 80m marking range, different position then when operating normally) to tune that 50% reduced power.

Otherwise the transceiver seems to operate normally.

?

Invite ideas on what to look for.
