[Yaesu] ft101zd speech processor

[Graham Bedwell]

If the processor is similar to the FL101/FT101E it is  almost a clone of
the  G3LLL clipper pioneered

as an external add on  for the earlier FT101 series.

It is an very good  RF. clipper, easily set up and  acceptable on  air.

I leave mine permanently on in my FL101 MK2. TX.

My FT101B, up to a HT. diode  short in summer 2003  (now being sorted)  is
still fitted with original PA. tubes,

fitted nearly 30 years ago  thanks to the G3LLL clipper limiting power down
but with a degree of clipping

which keeps up the average modulation and  is acceptable on 80 for inter "G"
working.

IE. lower power but higher duty cycle.


Does any one know the equivalent of the 10D10 silicon recs. in the HT.

Some late night reading found the 1N4007 , but the slightly larger BY127 has
a higher PIV. of 1250.  ?

 A belated happy new year ,
