One of my first HF rigs was a Yaesu FT101B and it has done sterling service over the years, firstly driving a 2m Europa transverter, then playing RTTY and AMTOR on the HF bands. It never had a cw filter fitted, and when I saw a board on ebay recently which had a cw filter fitted I put in a bid and got it. Having had it running in the rig for a few weeks it started playing up today, the receive went dead and the S-meter went full scale. A quick look at it on the extender board made it burst into life, and after coming and going a few times I decided the best result long term was to swap the filter into my original baord. That now donw it's all back together. Now just lstening to some qso's on 40m on my bit of wet string in the loft !, I really must get a wire outside sometime
