Re: 24V crowbar
Hola EA1FC !
To understand the purpose of this constant current source, first you will see that the rectifier diodes and the capacitors provide a negative supply (more negative than the emitter of

Re: 24V crowbar
Sorry mistake, FP-707 uses 0.1F after rectifiers, not 0.1mF as I said.

Re: 24V crowbar
Hallo F5RCT
I dont really undestand the constant courrent circuit Q01, even if I have known it since FP-707. I know what it does, but I dont know how it does it. BTW Yaesu has always used too much

Re: 24V crowbar
After a repair I documented in other thread, I tested it and "best input voltage" was 200V (wired for 234V) for clean 100W out. I mentioned there too about the advantage of lowering voltage to

Re: 24V crowbar
Hello dear OMs,
Personally, I don't see the point of installing a crowbar circuit.
This circuit protects against a possible overvoltage that could result from the destruction of the power transistors

24V crowbar
I use my FT-980 mainly as a receiver. I have INRAD Xtal 455kHz filters.
So I decided long ago to remove the 24V fuse. I heard alarms about PA destroyed by 24PS failure destroying PA transistors by

Re: FT-980 tuning issues
Pete,
None yet. It does seem to be heat-related, though. I can keep the rig in a cool basement and run it for months without issue (which I did as a test until recently). This is going to be an

Re: FT-980 tuning issues
Any resolution on this issue? My FT-980 has the same problem. Spinning the VFO knob results more in flickering of the frequency but no significant change in frequency. If I hold the up/down button on

Super Clean working 980 about to sell/who is interested?
I was given a nice looking 980 apart with a broken attenuator shaft. I fixed that, and cleaned/lube all controls. It did not want to go to Ham fr Gen coverage and I tracked to and replaced a 40 pin IC

Re: Yeasu FT-980 No Transmit
Wald, many thanks for the reply. I had no idea that it would not transmit in the GEN mode. Guess I had better read the operation manual that I downloaded. But I did try the Ham band button and nothing

Re: Yeasu FT-980 No Transmit
Jim,
Just to eliminate the cockpit errors... you are in HAM mode, right?? Not GEN???
You probably do not realize how many times I tried to call someone while in GEN mode...?So please confirm and

Re: Help with very poor receive
You've made my day! The 980 lives on! Just to reiterate, the grain of
wheat bulb fuse was blown and it saved the front end transistors. As a
bonus, it is in an easy place to get to, so I won't have

Re: Help with very poor receive
*Hi Ed, If you are lucky the "grain of wheat" receiver input fuse bulb has blown. See eBay # 165671785895.
Try temporarily shorting out the grain of wheat bulb to see if receive improves.*
