Yes Joel….I did it and found some improvement, but the rig I was working on had had a hard life. Dave….G4DAX.

Has anyone actually done this part of the FT-301 alignment? On 4.0 MHz you adjust T2 & T3 for maximum output power. Then adjust T1 for best Rx sensitivity. Problem is that all three of these in the

Hi Fred, Thanks for your ideas. I've never even heard of friction modifiers, but hey I guess I learned something today. Sounds like I might be making a trip to Canadian Tire on the weekend. Check

Joel,I'd look at Tri-Flo, or the special mix I use...50/50 synthetic motorcycle chain lube and Park Tool synthetic bicycle grease.I've reconditioned many Yaesu and Kenwood VFO drives with this

Well darn, that shaft was NOT bent. But still several points in rotation of the shaft where it "sticks" momentarily. Perhaps some fresh grease might help? Anybody have a suggestion for a good grease

I uploaded some photos, including a couple of the shaft in question, but forgot to click the "Notify..." button. The photo folder is called "FT-301 VFO Mechanism Repair" for whoever's interested.

Hi Joel, That sounds familiar! If you roll the shaft on a flat surface,like a glass desktop or similar,you will probably see that it’s a bit bent.? I took a bunch of measurements and made sketches

I've disassembled the VFO mechanism sufficiently that I know the culprit. I just don't know what to call it, as there's no mechanical drawing in the manual, or list of VFO mechanical parts that I can

I travel for work for months at a time. Bringing projects with me saves my sanity! Make sure to have a plastic bin handy to catch the tiny balls in the vernier as you disassemble and clean. They can

Hi Jon, Well I must commend you on your determination, working on that radio in a hotel room! Lucky that you had access to a lathe. I don't know anyone who has one, but perhaps I can find a way to

I had a similar binding problem on my FT-221. It turned out the central shaft in the vernier drive was slightly bent. I convinced it back into straightness with a lathe, a maple dowel and a bit of

Well I decided to get brave and just try it. A step by step procedure to remove the VFO assembly from my FT-301: - Unplug RCA connector on bottom of VFO - Remove white tape from connector at back of

Hi again, I'd pretty much finished restoring my FT-301 analog rig, but have noticed that the dial has three spots in every revolution where it catches just a bit. Right around 14, 47 and 80 kHz

Hi all, I've had an FT-301 for a couple of years, waiting for restoration. Finally got it on the bench and have been working thru the issues. I thought I'd share information about the biggest issue,

I rotated the band selector may times on the 80 meter position and now it is drawing 5 amps so now I am getting some output. I guess I better try to clean the contacts on the band selector. Next is

I would first check DRIVER output just disconnect the PWR AMP input BNCs on the back. If driver making 5-10 watts out, then problem is PWR AMP LPF or band SW wafer switches.

I have no output on 80 meters, all other bands are ok. Where do i start to troubleshoot this problem?? I can hear output on a external receiver. Thanks !! Robert KH2BR

I have very very low output on 80 meters. It is so low that it does not indicate any current draw on the meter. I can hear the signal on another receiver. I did not start troubleshooting with the

If the vox is not working, you can verify the ic mc14011. It's a trouble source. PP6EW Emerson Em qui., 23 de dez. de 2021 às 03:29, <vorsterjanco@...> escreveu:
