Hello

Nick (N1CCK) All Messages By This Member #22 I am the new owner of an FT-301 (not the D version), and have been searching for a little hideaway among people that recognize such a boat anchor. They certainly are quirky radios, but I enjoy it very much. Hopefully my lack of a digital display doesn't get me summarily dismissed. 73, Nick (N1CCK)
Rex K0KP All Messages By This Member #23 Edited Hi Nick.? It is hoped that this is becoming and will be the place for FT-301 owners so welcome.? You are probably aware the D version has the digital dial and the standard version like yours has the analog dial.? Welcome to the group.
Randy W7CPA All Messages By This Member #24 开云体育 Hello, I just finish making one good FT-301D from 2 junkers and learned a lot about the beast. See my photos. I strongly recommend you install the Elcon VFO stabilizer in yours. They drift 400-500 annoying Hz. Does yours have the optional Speech Processor? The biggest problem is the aging SSB filters. INRAD has expensive replacements but for not much longer. The crystals in these old filter change a little bit over time.

Rex K0KP All Messages By This Member #25 Randy your FT-301D sure looks nice in the photos!? Thanks for posting them and for your expertise to the so far smallish group.? I am sure more hams will join as time goes on.? Thanks for the tip on the filters too.
Nick (N1CCK) All Messages By This Member #26 开云体育 I glanced at your pics – beautiful work! ? Mine does indeed have the option voice processor, though how effective it is in practice I have yet to determine.? I spend 95% of my air time on CW, so I give less consideration to the voice. ? I did notice an issue that I am not sure is the aging filters or a quirk of the radio.? On 40 meters, the LSB filter sounds as though it has the same bandwidth as the CW filter.? On 80 and 20 (not that I use it there), the bandwidth of the LSB filter sounds much broader.? I’m guessing that it is time to replace the filters. I’ll have to check INRAD’s, though I’m guessing that they may cost more than I paid for the radio. ? ?

Randy W7CPA All Messages By This Member #27 It might be time to re-calibrate the SSB set points. Do you have an audio OSC?
Nick (N1CCK) All Messages By This Member #28 开云体育 Not yet – I’m a tinkerer more than an engineer of any sort.? That’s a better starting point than replacing the sideband filters, though. ? ?

Randy W7CPA All Messages By This Member #29 OK, I can walk you thru SSB OSC adjust but you have to have an audio OSC to feed into the MIC jack. It is simple but without audio OSC, you can only play with the trimmers and have to know what to listen for.
Kees Taverne #32 Hi Nick and all others, today my FT-301 arrived (indeed the anlogue version)_ which fits to my FT-221R (and that is the reason why I bought this radio). For HF I've only 'oldies' (FT-7, FT-7B and the FT-301) on the shelve. Even for VHF the radio's are older models. They are all in working order and happy with that. But I do have a question about the FT-301. There is one knob named Reject which was not thightened enough so I'm not shure what the 9 o?lock position is. It looks like a component which has no start/stop so I'm wondering if someone can tell me what it should be or if there is a way to align the knob in the correct postion (and if it may turn over 360 degrees). But in general I'm happy with the radio's I have. Best 73's de Kees PA1CJT
Randy W7CPA All Messages By This Member #33 That is the REJECTION tuning knob.. It needs to live at 9 o'clock to be off. They typically are stuck there due to no use. I had to use DeOxit and many days to free mine up.
