I refer you page 79 of the previously mentioned book.

What book? The FT101 manual or your £350 law book?

The FT101's a pretty simple rig, Frank. I doubt the manual would be that
long. When Gareth finally sources a copy, perhaps he'd be kind enough to
confirm.

I know, I had one, complete with manual, back in the 1980s. I don't
recall any difficulties tuning up, just don't key up* for more than a few
seconds at a time. Common sense, really.
* or should that be "key down"?


Hell, if he's really having trouble without the manual, there's plenty of
videos on YouTube of people demonstrating the necessary actions. Or he
could just pop down his local club and ask a friendly soul there to show
him how to operate it.

He doesn't appear to be flavour of the month at his local club, so that might be a problem.


Ah, that's unfortunate. Maybe he could join RSGBTech and post a message
there asking for help?

Apologies!
