More Pre-Mix Local info
I double-checked the scope settings and found I had the wrong measurement
selected. The actual output of the 78L08 is just a hair over 8V, and the
switch, Pre-Mix Local socket and the board itself

Pre-mix Local board question
I'm trying to diagnose a problem with the higher bands where the VFO
display will change to random frequencies while transmitting.
Specifications for the PB-2153 are 300mV output on Pin 3, where I am

Re: Ye Olde RL1
Rewiring the RL-1 socket is not something I want to do; but the Potter & Brumfield relay is so tantalizingly close to what the FT-101 uses...
Luckily for me, my OM likes to make electronic gadgets

Thank you Jim. That sounds very plausible. I’ll give it a try.

Re: FT101ZD 10M Only Incorrect Frequency Readout
This sounds like an analog problem. You may be losing too much signal amplitude of the LO signal feeding the counter at the higher frequencies. Glancing over the schematic I think i would look at the

FT101ZD 10M Only Incorrect Frequency Readout
I still have a couple of issues remaining with the "Parts" FT101ZD I'm restoring. It looks like I have a frequency counter issue. ?The counter works 100% on all bands except on any of the 10 meter

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.

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.

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.
