Re: FT101EE Mystery cut wire
Hi Mike,
The FT-101EE didn't come with a speech processor. Possibly the wire was left for adding the processor later on.

FT101EE Mystery cut wire
Inspecting my 101EE, I discovered a wire that apparently at some point got snipped. I cannot see anything that looks like where it was originally supposed to go. It's located under the PB-1092

Re: FT-101EE voltage measurements
Thanks to all who replied. I think I'll take the readings with both high & low impedance meters and see if there's any noticeable difference.Again...thanks!MikeKD7VRGTucson, AZ

Re: FT-101EE voltage measurements
Those voltages are nominal. Plus or minus 5% is fine. Use any voltmeter.

Re: FT-101EE voltage measurements
For measuring your transformer voltages all of your meters (VTVMs, modern DVMs, Simpson 260 etc.) will work fine. The accuracy will be determined by the calibration accuracy of each meter. Circuit

Re: FT-101EE voltage measurements
If you want to use a high impedence digital voltmeter, parrallel the VOM
input probes with a 10k ohm resistor for up to 10 v. 50k for +10 to 50v,
250k for higher voltages. This will "load" the

Re: FT-101EE voltage measurements
To measure the output of a transformer a good dvm will do the job, just remember the off load voltages will be higher than when its connected and under load.
I've just replaced the transformer on an

Re: FT-101EE voltage measurements
Somewhere in the service manual I thought I saw a comment about using
vintage impedance voltmeters for everything accept some lightly loaded RF

FT-101EE voltage measurements
Hello group,
I have an FT-101EE and am wanting to measure the various voltages off the main transformer.
What type of voltmeter is needed as far as ohms/volt is concerned? I own several. VTVMs,

Re: FT-101Z Tuning Issue
Try exercising the switch, end to end, 20 times. If that helps give it 20 more. I find that any radio that has not been used regularly can benefit by exercising the switches. It wipes any oxide off

Re: FT-101Z Tuning Issue
With the switch on “IC” rotating “Drive” increases the reading as expected, and rotating “preselect” moves the needle as expected. When I switch to “PO” the needle goes to 0 and stays

Re: FT-101Z Tuning Issue
I agree with the below
Until you can solve the meter issue you could try:
At plate dip, power out should be max – measured on external power/swr meter - provided the final tubes are aligned

FT-101ZD changing the 2.3KHz SSB filter for a 2.7KHz filter?
Would changing the SSB filter to a 2.7KHz filter improve RX audio quality on SSB / AM?
Sadly the 101ZD has no switchable filter for AM / SSB and I've got a spare 2.7KHz Yaesu filter 'flying'
