#28 Yaesu YO-100 scope monitor troubleshoot and repair In this video we take a look at the YO-100 scope monitor. We will only use out senses to locate the problems without the use of test gear. We will test a capacitor with a cheap tester. Lets have a look at what we find.

I knew someone sent a pm, but when I opened it the pm had vanished, along with about 15 others in my inbox. I get lots of pm;s and emails and takes me a wile to get to them. Try again please.

Have to look this one up when I get home. YT blocked at work. But sounds funny as all get out.

In this video I troubleshoot a viewer from South Carolina IC-745. We also have a peek at the PIEXX replacement ram board. Replacement trimmers from ICOM: 4610000100 (CV05A0601 CTZ51A 6pF) $2.92 each 4610000110 TRMR CV05C1201*VCT51C 12pF $2.92 each Piexx board...

Quite a few years ago I had a 29 doing about the same thing as the one you have is doing. Someone had done a lot of mods to this radio and it ended up at my shop as a parts radio. One day I grabbed it off the shelf and decided to do a bit of trouble shooting. I sat down on a friday morning and...

Good for a replacement yes. But to squeeze one more watt out of no. As far as spread coils? I cannot tell you how many times I have set down to fix these issues. One has to remember these are tuned circuits. Getting them right is critical. If one really wants to squeeze out more watts look...

If it is on the internet it has to be true...right? They cant put anything on the internet that isn't true.. Just search for the cobra 29 doing 85 peak watts.

Very grateful my friend :)

#26 Yaesu FT-757GX No transmit quick repair In this video I have a look at a 757GX that has no TX. Owner changed meter lighting and created an interesting easy to fix fault. Yes at times I do get something easy to repair.

Thank you very much Tallman. This radio is a joy to work on. So should make the repairs go easy.

#25 Icom IC-745 repair part 1. tear down and review of problems In this video we have a look at Icom IC-745 HF transceiver. Although this is listed as an all mode rig it does not have AM transmit. On 24 MHz and up we have an intermitted problem on receive and transmit, this is due to crappy...

#24 Heathkit GD-1B grid dip repair and homebrew coils In this video we have a look at an old Heathkit GD-1B. After a quick repair we test the unit and then build the missing coils that are needed to operate. EDIT: Sorry but for some reason unknown I lost the footage of the repair. Jeff...

Paul is a smart guy for sure. I enjoy his channel. He is a wealth of knowledge.

I think you are think about AF6LJ

Last video for 2015 In this episode I look at a UV-5RA that has no receive audio. With the cheap cost of this radio it makes no sense to take to a professional repair shop since the repair cost would be more than a new radio. What I find is the voice coil in the speaker has broken wires so I...

Yes, that is my pet ant. His name is Atom. He did not want to help me at all cleaning the meter up today. I think he was ticked off since I did not bring his daily sugar cube.

#22 Bringing the Mars SW 10 SWR meter back to life In this video I bring an old Mars SW-10 SWR meter back to life. This meter is covered in nicotine and has broken switches and a sticky meter. I decide not to do a cosmetic restore as I want the meter to retain it's nostalgic appearance...

Happy New Year to all. The bands may be dead but the website and YouTube is still kicking for your pleasure. I have two last videos to upload for the year. See Ya 2015!!

Very good idea. I already destroyed the atmel in one with a 500 volt fully charged cap.
