Re: FT-301 - A repair journey begins
I took a look at extracting the meter (on it's bracket) from the radio. Sadly, it seems this is not possible without first removing the front panel. That's more work than I want to do at this stage.

Re: FT-301 - A repair journey begins
Emerson, Thank you for the reference - I see it now. I will move my 50 kOhm microphone out of the way, so I do not connect it by accident and think that the TX is faulty! Regards, Mark, G4FPH.

Re: L2 RF Choke
