Re: FT-101 deaf above 40m
Update - I’ve replaced the 20m crystal and it’s now working well!

Re: FT-101 deaf above 40m
Yes, by all means and there are plenty of YouTube videos on how to do that.? You can also use the probe with an analog voltmeter if that's all you have.? The manual wants you to shoot for 300mv

Thanks Tony, this is what I suspected. I’ve ordered one off eBay so fingers crossed it’s a working one and it solves the problem. TC18 also shattered when I was attempting to tune the crystal
