Hi all, I would like to share my technical experience with my FT980. After many many years of no use I wished to make a deep check and precise alignment of the equipment. I found three blocking

Hallo Len, indeed I need the same replacement you are looking for. My plastic retainer clips cracked due to plastic material aging, I would like to share possibile development or research with you in

Thanks for your detailed reply. I did also noticed that while this is happening, switching the mode switch, all modes are shown selected on the display except FM. When the receiver is restored, FM is

Hi Leo, There are a couple of RX/TX relays in the FT-980. The most obvious one is the head which switches the path between the PA and the receiver. Three is another (multi-pole relay) on the REG

Hello, Would anyone have a source or replacement for the 2 gray plastic retainer clips for each end of the carry handle? Can they be replaced with a newer type? Any possibility of anyone making a 3D

Nicely done, Mat. I'm watching closely, as I'd like to be able to connect one of my old 980s to a PC for logging etc. I don't think that N1MM+ provides for the 980 though, so I'll probaly have to use

Not sure if everyone looks at Sherwood Engineering's receiver performance specifications, but the FT-980 was measured many years ago. It is interesting to contrast it with new

Just an update: I ran the ARRL DX Phone Contest 1.5 weeks ago. Not nearly as successful as the CW contest; band conditions weren't as good, and there was a lot of noise on 40M. I fired up the linear,
