I refer you page 79 of the previously mentioned book.

What book? The FT101 manual or your £350 law book?

The FT101's a pretty simple rig, Frank. I doubt the manual would be that
long. When Gareth finally sources a copy, perhaps he'd be kind enough to
confirm.

I know, I had one, complete with manual, back in the 1980s. I don't recall
any difficulties tuning up, just don't key up* for more than a few seconds
at a time. Common sense, really.
* or should that be "key down"?

Hell, if he's really having trouble without the manual, there's plenty of
videos on YouTube of people demonstrating the necessary actions. Or he
could just pop down his local club and ask a friendly soul there to show
him how to operate it.

That keeps happening to me. I follow a link, and instead of some
interesting text, I'm supposed to watch a video like it's some cooking
show. Sure it lets the masses in, but at what cost?

I'm not a huge fan of instructional radio videos, the majority are poorly
filmed and lit, with horrible sound and with semi-rambling commentary from
the noble but misguided ham videographer. But I have seen some absolutely
fantastic videos. One American chap in particular has a brilliant series on
YouTube but I can't remember it off the top of my head to pass along...

I agree. When I was a kid (in UK) I saw little or no TV and I have never
really got into having 10 minutes of video to explain something that
takes 2 minutes to read about. Perhaps I wouldn't feel so strongly if
my Internet connection actually permitted me to download youtube videos
in real time, I could quickly glance at them, *then* find a proper text
explanation!

Yup, there's no substitute for information in a book or magazine (or a
print-out from the web. I don't enjoy poring over stuff on a screen, much
nicer to transfer to analogue and ruminate over on the sofa). And I say
that as a young whippersnapper raised on computers and the telly.

He doesn't appear to be flavour of the month at his local club, so that
might be a problem.

Ah, that's unfortunate. Maybe he could join RSGBTech and post a message
there asking for help?
