I need somebody to look at this FT101E for me.

It's aligned, it just doesn't have the ears when my power is tuned. I lose one (ears) or the other (power) on this thing! My nerves are losing it period and I am ready to chuck it in the dumpster. I had a pretty reputable tech tell me that the voltage in the voice clarifier circuit was bad... How the heck do I fix this beast?????
Please... somebody help this poor soul.
Thanks!

Please see "Yaesu with an earache" post for previous history.

If anybody else has any recommendations, leads, where I can get parts, etc... please feel free to respond. I'm game for anything at this point.
I know there's some Yaesu hounds out there...
Don't be shy now.

Thanks

Hmm, posted to the 'earache' thread below, can't add much but WHOEVER SAID IT IS 'ALIGNED' didn't check it first. Seriously. The "either-or" transmit/receive peak is a symptom that the radio is NOT properly aligned. Period.
