Ameritron ALS-1406
I have only had my 1406 for a month now. It is performing well. Some one told me that they had a 1406 and that it would do 1500 watts easily. I just tried mine for the first time at that power level.

Re: Fl-2100Z problems

Re: Fl-2100Z problems
Jordan. I commend you on your repairs. In my view and experience, 160m in the FL-2100Z was an afterthought and I have never seen one operate really well in the VK segment of the band. They are

Re: Fl-2100Z problems
Thanks Joe. Price becomes a big issue when you try and get it to Australia. There are 2100B and TL922 switches on Ebay but none for the 2100Z. I have a brand new 2100Z switch? here and I'm in

Re: Fl-2100Z problems
It has been a couple of years since I checked, but, Yaesu had a bunch of band switches for the 2100 amplifiers..pricey..Then 125 bucks. Dunno if they covered 160 or WARC though. Have you called them?

Re: Fl-2100Z problems
Yes, it's a possibility that those capacitors are bad but more likely is that the 80m and/or 160m contacts on the band switch have been burnt away. It is quite common on the 2100Z. Shine a light down

AL-1200 input tuning
I would like to tweak the input tuning on my AL-1200 to see if I can reduce the VSWR presented to my FTDX101MP. The AL-1200 manual doesn't say anything about this, and doesn't even tell which coil is
