Yaesu FT-1000MP Mark V No RX-TX Troubleshoot & Repair Part-1

[@TRXLab]

Always fun to work on a FT 1000 :-) Well done so far, John

[@M0XFXUK]

Hi Peter it's always a pleasure when you stop by the channel. Yeah they certainly are a lot of fun🤪 I'm in the middle of making part 2 which I think may have a few twists and turns. I really do appreciate your approval. Very Best Regards.

Hi John, a lot of the cheaper signal generators eg. Feeltech FY6800/6900s dont have an "SSB" modulated opion , only AM , FM PSK , they dont even scale in DBM , which is probably why they are more affordable....what exactly is the SSB modulation function on that Rhode and Swartz,? Cheers John

[@M0XFXUK]

Hi Andrew, I have fancy test gear but for what I am doing in this video I really don't need it. A simple sig gen will work just fine. I should make a video going through this. Thank you for pointing this out.

John do u have 200 watt version for sale?

[@M0XFXUK]

I still have the radio but I really like operating it and don't want to sell it. If I hear of one for sale I will let you know. Thank you for your comment, 73 John M0XFX

nicety presented ....looking forward to prt2.keep up the good work

[@Electrimusprime]

My unit keeps flashing the frequency and when I use the main the radio makes alot of noise. I can send a video, any ideas?

[@M0XFXUK]

Hi Ryan, I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing problems with your FT-1000MP. I haven't encountered the specific fault you're describing; however, when you see a flashing frequency display, it's usually related to the PLL not locking up or the local oscillator not being present. These radios are quite complex, so it's difficult to pinpoint the issue without having it on test gear. May I ask where you're based?

[@Electrimusprime]

@@M0XFXUK wa state. I can send you a video of the behavior. Thanks for responding

Great video John , I had the 100 watt version of the mk5 .... I couldn't get on with it at all , I went for the FT-2000 in the end 👍

[@M0XFXUK]

Yeah I think these are a bit like Marmite, you love them or you hate them. I am still on the fence as I have never operated one so if I manage to get it fully operational again I may do a bit of a review.

[@Electrimusprime]

Can I email you some questions about the yeasu
