    17 when using it, just as with non-processed operation. The PROcessor control is simply a second MIC gain control which over-rides the MIC gain control setting whenever you enable the PROcessor. The FT-100(D) actually does not allow you to vary the compression percentage.

  • Page 9: Atas-100 Autotuning

    ATAS-100 Autotuning The tuning behavior of the ATAS can cause confusion unless you understand the algorithm it follows to find a good position. Normally, if the ATAS is installed correctly and it successfully autotunes itself, it will always go in the correct direction when you press in the TUN button for 1/2 second once it has found its first good match.

  • Page 14: What's In There

    Disclaimer: The following procedures can possibly void your warranty. WHAT'S IN THERE? (And a little on how it works) The stainless steel whip is mounted on top of a loading coil (under the rubber boot). The coil consists of copper wire wound around a "grooved" fiberglass rod. Part of the reason the antenna is guaranteed to work on 40,20,15 and 10m HF bands but not on 12,17 and 30m is that the spacing on the coil is wider at the resonant points on the coil on the "primary"...

    in. This base assembly is secured with pins and would be hard to dissemble without damaging. Inside this is an RF choke coil (I'm not sure if it is air wound or on a torrid) that makes this whole antenna DC grounded. This protects the radio from damage from whip contact with power sources, static build up, etc.

    Although there is no information available on the Yaesu website about the ATBK100, this US$90 kit is supposed to supply a ground plane for the 50 MHz, 144 MHz, and 430 MHz bands. One owner responded that he was able to get the antenna to work on other HF bands by adding two 20' lengths of wire to the ATBK100 to act as a counterpoise.

  • Page 19 cable wrapped several times around the ferrite to block common mode current from getting back into the rig. Ten meters seems particularly prone to the problem. Changing the feedline length has also helped in some cases, but this seems to move the problem around more than solving it at the root cause.

    MHz or higher. Yaesu will fix this by mounting a thermal switch that bypasses the electronic fan control circuit. The thermal mod is done on an 'as requested' basis since Yaesu feels that keeping the fans off in V/U receive poses no threat of overheating the radio.

    FC-20 Autotuner The FC-20 auto tuner is available as an accessory for the FT-100. The FC-20 was designed specifically for the FT-847 and FT-100 and is intimately mated to them. The FC-20 is capable of matching a SWR up to 3 to 1. It features 100 memories that memorize your favorite frequencies so that when you return to them, the unit can "instantly"...

    Here's what you need to know: The up/down/PTT switches are all connected to the SW1 line on the FT100 microphone jack. Different resistor values address different buttons: The pin-out on the FT-100 / 90 / 8100 Mic jack is as follows:...

    The circuit below gives you PTT, UP, DOWN, ACC, P, P1, and P. Don't forget that you can program the functions of P, P1 and P2 on the FT-100: When you try to use various mics with the FT-100D you may find that you have muffled or very low apparent audio drive level.

  • Page 30: Microphone Modification

    The FT-100 can be modified to transmit on frequencies outside the amateur bands. This modification opens the Yaesu FT-100 for full transmit on the HF, VHF, UHF bands. The mod works for both the FT100 and FT100D. It will not allow you to transmit on the 220 Mhz band.

    Power Connectors/Line Filters An excellent source for power connectors can be found at www.powerwerx.com. They carry the OEM connectors and shells for the FT100 (and other rigs) as well as the Anderson Powerpole connectors which allows you to make up cables so that it's easier to interchange different brands of radios with various power supplies.

  • Page 38: Problems With Ft100 Radios

    Several owners of the early FT100 radios experienced failures of the V/U output transistor. The word from Yaesu was that solder flux left on the board was to blame. Another common issue is related to the Intermittent High SWR ICON problem discussed elsewhere in this document.

(Apparently Yaesu does not use the letters A or B as a letter in the second position, hence the first month, January, would be a 'C', February is a 'D', etc..) Some members have reported that they are receiving models beginning with 9D at late as February, 2000 while others are getting units with serial numbers beginning with 9I.

    There are no programs currently available to store the FT100 memory settings remotely because Yaesu did not leave any provisions in the rig for uploading or downloading memory locations.
