Re: New to me FT-101B
Today was a big day for the radio and I.
I can NOW adjust to 50 milliamps idle driver current. THIS IS HUGE for me!
And the radio will tune up on 80 (hot) 40, 20, 15, and 10A.

Re: New to me FT-101B

Nowhere do I see where he sets the idle driver current to 50 ma initially. My hope is that passes muster first, then I can go through with the other adjustments. The steps in the manual won’t

There was, but it was for a different freq range. 32.520 was in that slot.
It needed to be 35.520

Installed currently in 10D: crystal is 32.5200
Installed currently in 11: crystal is 32.020
10D should be 35.5200
11 should be 33.020
33.020 and 32.520. Translates to 26.000 and 26.500

I have everything back together and all is working....almost all working.
Band 10D is deaf. It does not hear the internal 100 or 25KHz generated tone. I have not begun to perform an alignment as I am

Re: New to me FT-101B
Hello Butch
You are in the process that I need to start.
It’s not easy at all for those of us who do it for the first time.

I just finished (sorta, 3 to go) the cap replacement on all the removable boards. The worst of all was the cap in the 1180 module. But, I got it.
