It is nice when your XYL can help you with the readings but it is much
better when you get a rig that is accessible so you can do it for yourself.
I used to have a wife who learned how to read skematics and would read them
to me and then I could figure it out and fix the rig myself. in those days
we never sent things away to be fixed, at least I was lucky enough not to
have to. That was when components were large enough to find them in your
hand if you were holding them. good luck

When you tune up your valiant, how do you get the MA and grid numbers =
when the meter only announces forward/reflected power and SWR and has a =
variable tone mode which increases or decrease in pitch with the =
fluctuating power?=20
Do you know that this transmitter has a max power of a certain level and =
don't go over that with the meter's tone? I don't know how to test out =
the other readings accept get my XYL to read the IC meter while tuning.=20=
Butch, this is why I'm getting the 102 ready to go back to FLA. There =
maybe something wrong with the bius and the 102 expert can properly =
diagnose and repair this.=20
To follow along a little, google NC4L Mal's Yaesu FT-102 page and you'll =
get the info on blown fuses.=20
Mal calls it thermal run away and once this begins, the tubes are pretty =
much done and the only way to fix this is to replace the tubes.=20
