How to neutralize the final tubes on a Yaesu FT101 series ham radio using a 2nd receiver.
This video is very similar to the video I did many years ago for the Kenwood hybrid radio neutralization. With that video having over 16K views to date, I figure maybe some people would be interested in the Yaesu hybrid series. There is really little difference in the procedure.

Wow, that is a REALLY clean FT-101. What a pleasure to see it.
I think you might be my electronic doppelganger I am working on my FT-102 I have my
I enjoy your videos and great radio I have one great reception with it
I prefer the cold cathode neutralization method using an o'scope
Gread video Sir.....love your real clean 101....nice radio.
K4EAA went SK. What a loss to HR. His wife is still selling parts chow 73 l great video’s JohnBoyUtah 😎🇺🇸🎙📡
Tenho um FT101E que um amigo me vendeu com as válvulas esgotadas, não consegui por aqui nenhuma e estou convertendo para utilizar válvulas 6146b.
K4EAA had a blog on this procedure! He said you can do it with a VTVM and an RF probe, on the antenna jack. SG off and a 5 watt CB dummy load with the probe attached to CB dummy load!😎🇺🇸 JohnBoyUtah KJ7TBR
Todos estos rradios sufren delos tubos finales odel audio bajito
I don't have a Dummy lond can I uesd my outside antenna
Zig zag isn't weird. Zag zig is weird. But I do hope hams will learn as much about RF electronics as they have any desire to, because that is actually the reason the FCC gave us access to those numerous billion dollar bands, and licensed even techs to design and build all their own gear. If they thought we were just going to be 1,500 Watt CBers, they would just stick us all on the Citizen's Band.
I have a new-in-the-box original Yaesu FT-101, and can tell you by personal experience that it can be extremely dangerous working on these fine old hybrid rigs. I fired mine up without a variac (I didn't have one, but do now) and after a bit of time a huge electrolytic capacitor exploded all over the speaker next to it. Acrid smoke filled the room. Of course I cut the power immediately. Luckily I replaced the cap and all was well again. It is for all intents and purposes new. It's like a time capsule. Please stress to your viewers in the comments that NOT anyone can work on these. There are extremely dangerous high voltages present in the final tube cage....even when powered down they can remain. Unless one thinks it's cool when Florida Man sticks his hand in a tiger cage to pet the "big kitty", the better part of wisdom is stay away from doing any of this unless you are a seasoned trained tech / ham operator with loads of EXPERIENCE. It is a beautiful version of the 101E you have there by the way. 73 de Scott W1AL
Pulled my comment??.....wow.
