FT-5100 SubBand off frequency???
My Yaesu FT-5100 subband frequency is off by about 5KHz. The reference frequency and second mixer frequencies seem to be right on. That leaves the two ceramic filters in the subband detector, the IF filter and the demodulator. I'll have to set up a sweeper to figger out which one. There doesn't seem to be anything tweakable except the main ref frequency. Seems like they'd need really tight control of the ceramic resonator frequencies to make this work. I'm guessing that substitution of parts is out for this reason. Resetting the radio didn't help. Is this a typical ceramic resonator failure mode? Other ideas? Or am I missing something? I don't have the service manual, so if there is a calibration constant that can be set, I'd appreciate hearing about it. A PDF of the service manual would also be appreciated. This is a recent used acquisition, so I don't know the history. Thanks, mike -- Return address is VALID. Bunch of stuff For Sale and Wanted at the link below.
