[Yaesu] need some info about a FR-101D

[hwhall at compuserve.com]

I've been inside a number of meters and that part won't hold any worries for me. I'm just waiting for it to rise to the top of my list of stuff to do. It'll get done when I find that I really miss having the lamp. Or maybe that's just my excuse for being a bit lazy!  :-)

 checked my meter,your right.  a coupla of guys talked me out of pulling the 
meter apart,big chance to damage something. ended up putting a white led above 
the meter, works very nice.

I have an FR-101 and my light is also burnt out. It appears the lamp is internal 
to the meter. Above the two larger threaded posts on the backside of the meter 
are two small screws with small lugs, and wires leading to them. I haven't 
gotten around to doing anything about mine since it seems the whole meter has to 
be removed to fix the lamp. If I do get to it, I think an LED replacement will 
be a wise alternative.

Just finished reworking a fr-101d, works fine. how is the meter lit? have a 
internal bulb? I rigged a white led above the meter works ,but would like to do 
it correctly. 
Where does the external lite, if thats how the meter was lighted,besides ground, 

get its 14 volt feed. where id the connection point?
   The radio had no light on the meter when I got it,manual shows only the # for 

a bulb.
thanks for any help on this
