Introduction
This manual provides technical information necessary
for servicing the FTDX3000 HF/50 MHz Transceiver.
Servicing this equipment requires expertise in handling
surface-mount chip components. Attempts by non-
qualified persons to service this equipment may result
in permanent damage not covered by the warranty, and
may be illegal in some countries.
Two PCB layout diagrams are provided for each double-
sided circuit board in the Transceiver. Each side of is
referred to by the type of the majority of components
installed on that side ("leaded" or "chip-only"). In
most cases one side has only chip components, and
the other has either a mixture of both chip and leaded
components (trimmers, coils, electrolytic capacitors, ICs,
etc.), or leaded components only.
While we believe the technical information in this
manual to be correct, YAESU MUSEN assumes no
liability for damage that may occur as a result of
typographical or other errors that may be present. Your
cooperation in pointing out any inconsistencies in the
technical information would be appreciated.

Important Note
1) This transceiver was assembled using Pb (lead)
free solder, based on the RoHS specication.
Only lead-free solder (Alloy Composition: Sn-
3.0Ag-0.5Cu) should be used for repairs per-
formed on this apparatus. The solder stated
above utilizes the alloy composition required
for compliance with the lead-free specication,
and any solder with the above alloy composi-
tion may be used.
2) Risk of explosion if baery is replaced by an
incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries ac-
cording to the instructions.

ALIGNMENT-1
Introduction and Precautions
The following procedures cover adjustments that
are not normally required once the transceiver
has le the factory. However, if a problem occurs
during normal operation due to component failure;
realignment may be required aer the faulty com-
ponents have been replaced.
We recommend that authorized Yaesu Techni-
cians, who are experienced with the circuitry and
fully equipped to repair and align our products,
perform repairs. If a fault is suspected, contact the
selling dealer for instructions regarding repair.
Authorized Yaesu Technicians have the latest infor-
mation to align all circuits and make complete per-
formance checks to ensure compliance with factory
specications aer repairs.
Those who do undertake any of the following
alignments are cautioned and proceed at their own
risk. Problems caused by unauthorized aempts at
realignment are not covered by the warranty poli-
cy.
Vertex Standard must reserve the right to change
circuits and alignment procedures in the interest of
improved performance, without notifying owners.
Under no circumstances should any alignment be
aempted unless the normal functions and opera-
tion of the transceiver are clearly understood, the
cause of the malfunction has been clearly identied
and all faulty components replaced. The need for
realignment should be determined to be absolutely
necessary.
The following test equipment (and a thorough fa-
miliarity with its correct use) is necessary for cor-
rect realignment. Most steps do not require all of
the equipment listed. The interactions of some ad-
justments may require that more complex adjust-
ments be performed in a sequence. Do not aempt
to perform only a single step unless it is clearly iso-
lated electrically from all other steps. Have all test
equipment ready before beginning, and follow all
of the steps in a section in the order they are pre-
sented.
Required Test Equipment
RF Signal Generator
AF Signal Generator
Spectrum Analyzer good to at least 1 GHz.
Frequency Counter
SINAD Meter
RF Millivoltmeter
Electronic Load
Digital DC Voltmeter (high-Z, 1 M-Ohm/V)
DC Voltmeter
DC Ammeter (20 A)
Ohmmeter
50-Ohm Dummy Load (100/200 was)
In-Line Wameter (150/300 was, 50-Ohm)
Linear Detector
RF Coupler
4-Ohm AF Dummy Load (3 was)
1/4-inch 3-contant Plug
Alignment Preparation & Precautions
A 50-ohm RF Dummy load and in-line wameter
must be connected to the “ANT 1” jack in all proce-
dures that call for transmission, except where spec-
ified otherwise. Correct alignment is not possible
with an antenna.
Aer completing one step, read the following step
to determine whether the same test equipment
will be required. If not, remove the unneeded test
equipment before proceeding. (except the dummy
load and wameter).
Correct alignment requires that the ambient tem-
perature be maintained constant between 68 °F ~ 86
°F (20 °C ~ 30 °C). When the transceiver is brought
into the shop from a hot or cold environment, it
should be allowed time to come to room tempera-
ture before alignment. Also, the test equipment
must be thoroughly warmed up before beginning.
Whenever possible, alignments should be made
with oscillator shields and circuit boards rmly af-
xed in place.
Note: Signal levels in dB referred to in this proce-
dure are based on 0 dBµ = 0.5 µV (closed cir-
cuit).
Important Notice
Do not adjust the alignment menus that are
not mentioned in this manual.
