Wire on MOX-PTT-VOX switch?

 

Hello again group,

While servicing the Phones jack on my FT-101EE, I noticed a loose wire in the same
vicinity.

I don't know if this wire has been loose or if it broke loose when removing the phone jack.

It is a GREY/WHITE wire and one end of it is connected to the lower lug of the MOX-PTT-VOX
switch.? I am looking to where the other [loose] end connects to.

Any help appreciated...

Mike

there are many different versions of FT-101.
Look the schematics at:

Ok thanks Emerson. Can you help with the location of C152?


Thanks

Hello group,

I have an FT-101EE (1976 vintage I believe)

I have noticed the capacitor in the C103 position is a 1000uf 25v, whereas the
schematic calls for a .047uf to be there.? Schematic also shows this as being a
non-electrolytic, whereas mine is.

C-103 connects to the T12 transformer on the bottom of the chassis.

So, question is...what is the proper cap there?


Thanks!

Yep, have a nice SWR meter, thanks to our good friends at Heathkit.?

Do you also need a watt meter and or combo SWR/reflected meter?
Using just a line tuner is nearly impossible without an SWR bridge.?

HF autotuner

 

Hi group,

Do any of you have suggestions for (or have for sale) a relatively inexpensive HF autotuner I can use with my FT-101EX?

Don't need any bells and whistles, just something that might work with my non-resonant dipole.

Thanks for any input,

Richard

Re: FT-101EE component question

 

Bruce, Thanks for the reply, but I don't think you got the gist of my question.

I wasn't asking if it should be there. I was asking about the huge disparity between
the values of what I actually see in the radio vs. what the schematic calls out.

Re: FT-101EE component question

 

They are both supposed to be there. One is s simple RF ground. The?electrolytic cap is “grounded” through the lamp bulb. But it is wired with the positive lead grounded through the bulb.?

Look at it carefully.?

Re: Are there any shops that still work on/specialize in Yaesu FT-101E repair/restoration, and/or instructional videos?

 

Look up Buddy.
He is on YouTube and goes by The Radio Shop.
He has a whole series on the 101 series.

驰别蝉….贬耻苍诲谤别诲蝉.

Go to Youtube.?
Search FT101?

“The Radio Shop” channel is particularly good and has many restoration videos for all FT101’s

There is tons of information out there.

FT-101E signal level at RF out RCA jack

 

When connecting an RF probe to the driver RF out RCA jack in the rear of the FT-101E, does anyone know what voltage should be present?

I was wondering what signal level the finals are expecting to receive from the driver.

And can monitoring this level be used to peak the xmit trimmers without the final heaters on or is power out from the finals the best way?

Thanks,

FT-101E mica hv caps

 

Hello all,
I have an ft-101e that I have recapped all the electrolytics and it now receives ok.? The finals are rca 6js6c's.? The tubes have been checked and are good but I want to know about the brown square caps in the hv tube section.? I've read that its important to change them before turning on the heater switch or doing any alignment. ? Looking at the manual it shows c13,c104,c125,c11 and c23 from the main chassis parts list.? Should all these be replaced???? What caps are you guys using for replacements?? Does anyone have a digi-key parts list for the correct caps?
Thanks, de gregr/ka9vdu
