Re: FT 101ZD VFO Issue
I think pretty much any diode can be used as a varactor. Some are just better than others.

Re: FT 101ZD VFO Issue
Thank you Jim for taking the time to respond to my posting. I agree that a DMM would not detect a very slight voltage variation in the DC, especially if the sampling rate of the DMM is too slow. And

Re: FT 101ZD VFO Issue
I recently repaired a FT-707 that had, among other things, clarifier issues. I found that the JFET constant current source and the Zener diode in the clarifier power circuit to be bad. Not flakey,

I guess you can replace the varicap by a 1N4001 -1n4007.

FT 101ZD VFO Issue
I recently was given two FT101ZD's, one a "Parts rig" Mark I and the other a Mark II. ?Both required work but both are now working. ?I found I had to remove the voltage to PIN 2 of the VFO input

FT 101 EE Audio board
I have an FT 101 EE.
The Audio Board is? PB-1315.
I am replacing the electrolitic caps? and the Mylar caps.
Is there any change in cap values I should make that would improve the audio on transmit

Re: Reconversion from 11M Local Oscillator alignment
Only the older ZD models have the display unit with the toggle switches. I
can’t remember when the switched over to the later model.

Re: Reconversion from 11M Local Oscillator alignment
Unplug the two wire harnesses from the display unit and clean the male
pins. Plug them back in a few times to make sure all of them or connecting
well. Retest.

Re: Reconversion from 11M Local Oscillator alignment
Thanks for that - is it any clue that this only happens when transmitting
and the power is increased? I was suspecting a supply voltage issue
perhaps with the additional drain on TX.

Reconversion from 11M Local Oscillator alignment
Would that be the case for a 101ZD MkII? I've never seen any toggle
switches on the VFO although they could be inside the housing.

Re: Reconversion from 11M Local Oscillator alignment
Also, since it happens on 10m, 12m and 15m, I would suspect an issue with the actual display board or VFO board
I have had to remove these VFOs a few times over the years and remove the VFO cover,

I’m pretty sure if it is showing MHz ?off, but is actually transmitting and receiving at the right frequency … it has nothing to do with the new 10m crystals.
