As someone who's spent 25 years doing component level troubleshooting (and more years as a ham radio hobbyist), I can say that you did some really good detective work.
Thank You for this absolute great lesson. I don´t have this problem in my Yaesu FT-1000MP MARK-V Field yet, but when it will came I just know what to do. All the best 73 to You!
Another awesome diagnosis and repair Peter. Thanks for the video. I do have to say that you are a much braver man than I am seeing you resting the corner of that heat sink with the fins hovering over the top of the speaker cone like that. 😲
The ft1000mp was my first big step in repair radios. Could follow you easily this time. Thanks for sharing it inspiring me every time again to do more repairs.
Another great repair, Peter. I learn something new every time i look at your videos. I am impressed to see how you can find these broken parts in the radio. /3 Asle
Great job Peter. I have had the same issue in a IC-756PRO3, warn PA unit in RX with bias in as well. It was a leakage voltage in RX/TX switch stage.Thanks for another great video, stay safe my dear friend. 73s Pasquale IW0HEX
Another great fault finding diagnosis and repair...... your a wizard...... are you sure you don't want to move to New Zealand haha...... not much covid and lots of radios to repair hahaha....... awesome video Peter , I so enjoy your repairs, reviews, and also all the tips and tricks , and lets not forget the great balun series..... Thank you , you are a great blessing to the ham radio community .
@@lordjaashin wasn't inviting you so you can stay just where you are...... and our lockdowns are short and sharp and we get covid under control fast...... Fascist state lol.... you don't have a clue do you lol
@@cookiebeariscool wasn't coming to your fascist island so whether you're inviting or not is irrelevant. citizens should shut themselves in when masks work just as well. class differences between vaccinated and unvaccinated citizens? would you like to know more? look at the similarities between your government and Federation from starship troopers movie.
Another great video, Peter. I have found that most hams dabble somewhat in electronics. I guess it's just part of ham radio. But most hams cannot repair their own radios unless they are a working technician. Your troubleshooting techniques are par to none. You always seem to go to the correct spot for testing. 73 from W Rusty Lane K9POW in eastern Tennessee
Man you are definitely good at finding the little things that drive most of us crazy. Definitely lean more every time I watch. This is the 3ed time I've watched an leaned something new. Keep up the great work 👍👍👍
Nice vid, Peter. Hope you are doing fine. I had a backlog in watching your videos, but now i am up to date. FT-1000 is always complex to work on, but worth it to save a good radio. So thanks once again for your good work. 73 de Olaf, hab eine gute Zeit!
I really like your videos! I also like in case of german people explain something in english, I like the detailed explanation and the accent too! :) By the way, I was able to follow the investigation and understand almost every steps. But it is not clear why the RX was lost only after transmitting?
Peter all your videos are great. The earlier ones on Baluns in (4 parts a few years back) were extremely good and fundemental. You did one 6 months ago on replacing the Icom7300 final mosfets. I just wondered where you got those from? I only ask because other than eBay (hmm) I am struggling to find them. David
Had me a Yaesu 757gxII had receive issues and such. Was leaky diodes. Put me in some 1N4148 and fix it good. Did you use Genuine replacements or did you use some equivalent for the diode? Good video.
So those built in self biased transistors are digital switches? I always wondered about them. Thanks for the Saturday repair download Peter. Have a great weekend.
Hi Peter. Have been following your videos for sometime. I plan on getting into the radio restoration and repair aspect. Could you please post more videos on what type of test equipment you would need to repair and restore both tube and S/S radios, and how they interact with each other. Thanks Hart va3kis.
Love to send you my MK2G. Works for 10 min. Then we only have 160. Probably relaying. I Can't see that well or I'd go for it. Be nice to be able to get a New relay board but I'm sure know one makes them.
Hi Peter great video as always I have a radio I would like to have repaired can you advise on how to get in touch please I am based in the UK and would like to ship to you Kind regards Craig
hi I was going through your channel I came cross this video, I have FT-2000 with very odd behavior which I cant describe, how can I share you the video's of my radio behavior? so if you can help me to solve it.
Hallo Peter; Können Sie mir eine Referenz für ein magnetisches Induktionsglaselement geben, um das Element im REED RL6414-Relais zu ersetzen. Ist 10 x 14 mm in Ordnung? Danke im Voraus 73's SEB
new to your channel and must say the info helps me understand stuff better. sorry to peter but i am trying to reach out to anybody who can help me i have a old icom ic-726 and the display has gone and was wondering if any one has a old radio about them spares or repair or be able to point me in the right direction to get one. (uk based) thanks
