FT101E


 

Hi all,,
Working on a very nice 101e, unfortunatly , R40 is burnt to a crisp, does any one have ny idea what the cause may be , meter tells me there is a dead short on the output side , 300 volts is on the input . Brian. VK4 PX.


 

Check C109 connected to R40 nearby for possible short.

Thx Nestor ,

Turns out it was c11 dead short, burning out r40.

I am presently working on another 101 , the first one is a 101b, the one I am working on now is a 101e, and I am having problems as the regulator board is not the same as the schematics I have , the 6 volt rail on the VFO is not lighting a 6 volt rail, and falls to o volts on transmit,,the regulator is a pb 1547 or similar number, but different to the 101 b .

Is it possible to,obtain a circuit of this model ,with the different regulator, 101e, there must have been differences in these as they came out , and hard to repair without a circuit, I was trying to see which PIN number is feeding the 6 volt output,,and where does the voltage for this rail,come from, I see 13 .5 volts on I think pin 12 , but there must be a problem some where as no power in the 6 volt rail, it,lites the led and that¡¯s about all, the PNP transistor checks out ok , and seems to,feed into an ic,but with out a circuit im at a loss to know what¡¯s going on, if you have any info ide like to hear back from you.Brian .VK4PX.

Nestor the board is PB1547 Regulator.

Hello Brian,
The attached schematic contains the PB1547 regulator circuit.
