The Yaesu service manual leaves lot to be desired. I can't get I to the service menu with my mic. The fast button is not working.

That’s probably the radio off! 5ppm x 145 on 2m or 725hz and 5ppm x 433mhz for 70cm is 2.165khz.

? I would say your radio is in spec in FM.

Hi Andy,

also notice when listening to the local repeaters, the discriminator reading on the meter is off to the left. I actually have to tune about 1.5 KHz above the repeater output if I wanted to center it. Not sure if something is out there either.


Re: Schematics?

 

Hi this is all covered in the service manual and service menu? in the 847, before this address the ref Crystal's oscillators will need tweaking? first there are a number of tweaks that will affect the final frequency?

Depends on the input, ie might be zero

...and if I measure at the output of Q4001 I get nothing.

I think Q4001 is toast.

Hi Andy

If I measure at J3006 on the RF board, I'm only getting 60mV

This output runs to the input of Q4001

If I reseat the cable and measure at pin 1 of Q4001 I only get 12.5mV? ??

I'll have the parts here tomorrow to build the probe. Won't have a chance to look at it until next week, it's my wife's 60th birthday this weekend!

Happy wife....

True I know it is tricky, anyhow there is some measuring to do first

Hi Andy


3.66V


I'll build an RF probe.

Can't find a 1N34A. Any good subs?

Re: Schematics?

If you are referring to the 3.66V, that was on pin 2 of Q4001. I get 13.7V on pin 3. I'll need the probe to measure pin 1 input and pin 4 output.

Any germanium or Shockey diode will do just add .6 off a volt

?

OK 3.66V at 50 OHM + 3.8mW to 4mW

?

Where are you measuring?

The voltages at Q4001 look good, as do the measurements at Q4006.

Does the 285mA reading seem reasonable considering Q4006 is not putting any power out?

I think Q4001 is good based on the signal strength into the handheld.? Possibly a break in the RF path between Q4001 and Q4006? I read where solder joints have been known to crack.

Hi max,

Check the voltage on Pin 2 of Q4001, this is the power control!

Does the 285mA reading seem reasonable considering Q4006 is not putting any power out? Yes Bias current for linear operation, it could go to 300mA for perfection!

There is not much than can go wrong between Q 4001 and Q4006, cracked cap maybe, you really need to signal trace, i.e is the signal far larger than, 50mW in 3 watts out is a power gain of? 18dB Q4001 provide many Watts into the final device, check solder around Q4001.
