Greetings!
I have made the AM mods to my FT-101EX. I bought the AM filter
from INRAD. I bought the 160 meter and 10 meter crystals
from JAN. I spent more on that stuff than I did on the radio.. :-|
I performed the AM window mods (sounds pretty good)
for both receive and transmit.
I hope to use the rig primarily on ten meter ayem....
Sooo.....the rig divides up the ten meter band into four segments,
but NOWHERE in my manual does it say WHAT these segments
are!!! Are they 500Khz? What? Does anyone know? I suppose I could
wait till I get the crystals and see for myself, but you would think that
the manual would have the info....maybe mine is missing pages(?).
typically, yes...
10A 28.0 ~ 28.5
10B 28.5 ~ 29.0
10C 29.0 ~ 29.5
10D 29.5 ~ 30.0 (top end, of course, is 29.7)
Near as I can tell, the xtals needed for the FT-101 series rigs, starts
at 34.020 Mc, and increase by 500kc from there.
ie:
Band 10A = 34.020 = 28.0 ~ 28.5
Band 10B = 34.520 = 28.5 ~ 29.0
Band 10C = 35.020 = 29.0 ~ 29.5
Band 10D = 35.050 = 29.5 ~ 30.0 Mc
Hope that helps.
