Yaesu FT-212 S meter question
I recently bought a used Yaesu FT-212RH, in very good condition,
everything seems to work fine. Though the S-meter is a somewhat odd or very, very stingy. When talking to people simplex, the s-meter (bars) either dont show any signal strength at all or very little, even when the simplex station is strong. When listening to repeaters the s-meter bar lights show up in varying signal strengths, so I know the S-meter does work. Does someone have a service manual or know how to adjust this S- meter. Thank You |

Yaesu FT-212 S meter question
I would hook it up to a signal generator with a calibrated attenuator first,
just to make sure that you don't have a blown front end device. Also, you will be able to see how many microvolts are required to "move the meter". You should be able to easily hear a 0.1uV signal from the generator. Pete "Craig" wrote in message ups.com...
