I have an old FT101-Z that I want to put a crystal on the band switch for 10b. Does anyone have detailed instructions on this or must I wait till i have purchased a service mannual?.. I would like to get it in as soon as possible!!
But want to do it right as the radio works excellent now and I don't want any problems, is there some where on line I may go to veiw this simple task? I am really short on funds due to the fact of limited income, I am on disability and have a family also. Not looking for sympathy just a point in the right direction. Thanks, and will be looking forward to some help from my friends here on Coppers forum... OhioBiker"575"

UPON LOOKING IN THE RADIO FROM TOP VEIW, FROM THE FRONT OF THE RADIO. THE VERY RIGHT FRONT CONNER CONTAINS A BOARD MARKED IN LINE DIAGRAM AS "PREMIX LOCAL(XTAL) UNIT (PB-1965)" IS THIS THE BOARD WHERE THIS CRYSTAL IS TO BE INSTALLED? I WILL NOT DO ANYTHING TILL I CAN CONFIRM THIS AS WHERE IT IS TO GO! I HAVE SEEN NO OTHER AREA WHERE THERE IS A CRYSTAL BANK. I KNOW ON THE FT101-E SERIES THE XTALS JUST PLUG IN. BUT IT SEEMS TO ME THESE GET SOLIDIER'D IN PLACE....OK HERE IS ANOTHER QUESTION... I ALSO OWN THE FTV (external VFO) FOR THIS RADIO. WOULD IT BE TO MY ADVANTAGE TO USE THE CTRYSTAL IN THIS AND TUNE FROM THE EXTERNAL VFO AND LEAVE THE RADIO UN-TOUCHED? I AM THINKING NOW MORE ALONG THIS LINE TO KEEP THE RADIO AS STOCK AS I CAN, JUST INCASE I WANT TO RE-SELL IN THE FUTURE. IF ANY ONE HAS ANY INFO ON THIS FEEL FREE TO WRITE ME DIRECTLY AT INDEPENDANT_RIDER@juno.com I WOULD WELCOME SOME KIND OF PICTURES TO BE E-MAILED TO ME AS IT MIGHT MAKE THINGS EASIER TO UNDERSTAND...THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR HELP....OHIOBIKER "575"
UPON FURTHER EXAMINATION I HAVE FOUND CRYSTALS ALREADY IN THE PREMIX BOARD AS DISCRIBED IN LETTER EARLIER "PREMIX LOCAL(XTAL) UNIT (PB-1965)" I GUESS I NEED TO GET A FREQ COUNTER
YC-601 BEFORE I GO MUCH FATHER...IT SEEMS LIKE THE CRYSTALS MIGHT BE IN THERE ALREADY....Hmmmm...WELL I STILL WOULD LIKE TO FIND A SITE DEDICATED TO THE OLD FT 101-Z SERIES...MAYBE SOMEONE CAN HELP...POSTED HERE AND IN BASE RADIOS ...AFTER NO RESPONCE IN BASE RADIOS...THANKS AGAIN...OHIOBIKER "575" |
