Re: Mode switching problem or normal operation ?
Hi Robert. That is not normal, I would suggest you to look for what is wrong. I have 2 FT301D and none of them are doing what you are describing. Best 73 Jo?o Paulo Ribeiro CT2HZF?

When I switch from CW mode to USB, The t/r relay momentarily energizes and releases and the relay on the blanking unit energizes and de-energizes.
When I switch from AM to CW it seems like the t/r? relay energizes and does not release but I can receive ok. when I switch back to AM, the relay de-energizes.
Is this normal operation or what should I look for.? FT301D

Is the VOX gain turned all the way down?

Re: looking for parts. FT301s analog face plate and PB1433 rf board
Are you still looking for parts?

Re: Removing FT-301 VFO mechanism ?
If you go as far as to remove the VFO replace the bearings and grease. Chump change and standard bearing. Easy to come by. Just one more thing that it is not.

I used to sell them and probably still have one as well as the stabilizer. Elcon sells them. They're great. One of the first things I do with a 301 when it comes through is yank out the display and replace it with an Elcon. Programable. Very nice piece.

Re: Removing FT-301 VFO mechanism ?
Oh, Great Fred thank you. I’m used to radio. You say something, the other person says something at least copy or over. But I guess the web is not like radio. My first time on a web site. Then everybody says things so short? No one wants to rag chew anymore. No activity on HF anymore. Thought maybe I would find my tribe here. I guess I talk to much. Thank you for letting me know stuff goes through. Guess folks just don’t talk anymore? 73

Are you talking to me? I’m new to computers and not doing real well. I do enjoy the 301’s and have about 20 of them with lots of parts. Please let me know if this went through. Thank you

It's been at least 10 years, and I have a '301S that I've slowly been bringing back from the dead.... It now receives fine, but basically no power out. Perma-project status, ya' know?
As for 9 MHz filters, I ended up putting a Inrad filter for a '301 (CW/500 Hz) into a Hallicrafters SX-146 receiver (AFAIK, the only piece of Halli gear that used a 9 MHz IF.? There was an AM filter for it, but it was exceedingly rare, and the Inrad filter was on closeout.

Re: 200W power output !!! Is this OK?
There are very few watt meters (ham) that are accurate today. I calibrate everyone that comes through here. But think how great it makes you feel to double your output by replacing your meter! hi hi Chinese meters have an error of about 69%. A radio that is rated at 55 watts seems to put out about 38 watts, yep, quality.

Re: FT-301 - A repair journey begins
This is a problem with the 301. I do have an instruction sheet on how to set the SSB osc's. You would think they would run 1.5 kc of center but there is a problem in the filter board I think. I set them to about 1.2 kc using two different tones back and forth. The manual is almost right on this one. There never was a service manual published as these were lemons that canceled instantly when the WARC bands came out.

Re: FT-301 - A repair journey begins
In Europe they were sold as the Sommer Kamp 301. I probably have a good meter if you can't find one.

Re: FT-301 - A repair journey begins
The front panel on the 301 is very easy to remove. Take a pick if you don't have a spare but no surprises in there. Just wrench time.

Re: Removing FT-301 VFO mechanism ?
You don't have to remove the VFO to install the stabilizer. I've done lots of them. Directions are in the Elcon library. Easy job with basic ham skills.?
