Yaesu FT-5100
 

Does anyone know if the Yaesu FT-5100 and FT-5200 are the same radio?
I know one has a removable faceplate. I need to know if the basic unit
is the same inside.

Any ideas where I can find a Service Manual for the FT-5100
specifically? (I've been watching eBay, but no luck).

Thanks,
John

John:
The have similarities but are different radios. The FT 5200 ( I own
one) has a removable face plate for remote operation and a limited
number of memories on each of the two bands.

The FT 5100 has more memories and the face plate is fixed.
I suggest that you do a Google search for a service manual or go to the
Tannenbaum web site. He has lots of manuals listed. Coming up with one
or a copy should not be a problem as the radio is only about ten years old.
