[Yaesu] FR-101

[Ronald KA4INM Youvan]

< I have a very strange case here? This radio was purchased new and never really 
use.
  I got this from a very reliable ham friend of mine and it was working to some 
degree
as far sensitivity is concerned. It acted like typical tarnished contacts in the 
band
switch? I can't get it back even to the sensitivity that it had the first time I 
heard
it? I put a metered signal gen on it and 3 volts is about S-9 on 80 meters. as 
you go
up in freq the meter readings increase to 40 over 9 with the exact same input 
volts??
Here is even a crazier part the s-meter shows a higher ready with the int 
calibrator
on the lower band than the higher? >

> anyone have clue what could be wrong???

   I expect the higher harmonics of the marker osc. to be weaker than the lower
ones.
   Sounds like the RF pre-amplifier is not as gud as it was at factory test, 
lightning or something has killed a transistor or opened a coil somewhere
in the front end.
