- FT 757 Filter modification
- ==========================
-
- During RTTY/AMTOR operation it is useful to have a narrow filter to reduce
- QRM from other stations. It is possible to use the narrow CW filter of the FT
- 757 for SSB, because of the shift/width system.
-
- 1.) Cut the connection between cathode of diode D 102 and a 150 OHM resistor
- on RF UNIT. This resistor is not shown in service manual, but it exists
- on all rigs later than LOT 4.
- 2.) Take a new diode (1N4148 or similar) and solder the cathode to the open
- end of the 150 Ohm resistor. Connect the anode to the middle contact of a
- double pole toggle switch.
- 3.) Connect the OFF contact to pin 5 of J10 (SSB 8V) and ON contact to pin 8
- of J10 (TX 8V).
- 4.) Take another diode of the same type and solder it's cathode to pin 1 of
- J09 and the anode to the ON contact of the second pole of the toggle
- switch.
- 5.) Connect the switching (or middle) contact of second pole to pin 7 of J10
- (RX 8V). The OFF contact will be left free.
-
- For the SPDT switch I am using the MOX switch on the front panel. It is a 2
- pole toggle switch and you have to cut the PCB between the contacts. Further
- you have to remove all wires to the MOX switch.
- That's all.
-
- Attention : There are some errors in the Service Manual. Eg. The filter
- connection is shown wrong. If you want to have a corrected circuit diagram
- or complete modification diagram please write to Roland Robic OE6RCD,
- Augasse 15, A-8430 Leibnitz, Austria.
- Please enclose an A4 SASE ( 2 IRC or 4 IRC outside Europe Airmail)
-
- This modification should work also on FT757GX/II.
