Re: Yaesu FC20
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHi Andrew, I¡¯ve got a good stock of BAT46 and BAT85¡¯s (used in the FT847) so thank you for the offer.? Fortunately I have a few decent SWR meters and 50w and 100w elements and also aware of the shortcomings of the thruline so thanks for the heads up. I have two bird meters so easy to put a 50H element in reverse and 100H in forward. ? The good news is the tuner still works as expected. It still tunes on all bands! As strange as it sounds the processor isn¡¯t affected as far as I can tell but it is in direct connection to the null adjustment circuit however some protection exists. ? I¡¯ve put in a small order with Yaesu as mentioned so just waiting for that confirmation.? Will keep you updated. Also noticed the gas discharge tube on the tuning board looks a little smokey. Not put a meter on it yet and doubt it¡¯s taken a hit but they are available from RS Components for about ?6 and I¡¯m a business customer so no postage fortunately otherwise this would start becoming a small but very expensive repair when compared to the cost of a second user ?tuner.? ? Many thanks and please keep the thread going guys as the information so far is absolutely dynamite. It¡¯s really appreciated. The very kindest regards, De Spence M0STO?
