[AMRadio] Replacing sweep tubes with 6146s
I picked up a Yaesu 570 ( predacessor to FT-101) at the Brooksville hamfest today. No finals. I seem to remember a few years back an article on converting the finals in a FT-101* to 6146s. Seems like a good idea now since a 6KD6 sweep tube cost a lot more than a 6146. Back when the tube rice boxes came out the sweep tubes could be had for a couple of bucks. Anyone have thoughts on this potential conversion? tnx de KA4JVY Mark __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

mark, unless someone has a PROVEN swap out it is not a good idea.

Re: [AMRadio] Replacing sweep tubes with 6146s
The conversion to 6146s seems to be a winner in most rigs. Later today I'll send you an article on conversions on a Tempo One (Yaesu FT-200) and FT-101s. Steve WD8DAS [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: [AMRadio] Replacing sweep tubes with 6146s
