Models

Many models in the FT-101 series were manufactured in its timeline:

  • The FT-101 - early model 1971 (ser # <25000) was a 80-10m band transceiver brought out in the United States which was known for its strong receiver overload, TX spurs and audio problems. This includes the unofficial subtypes Mk 0 (-06000), Mk 0A (06001-07991), Mk I (08000-23999) and Mk II (24000-24999).
  • The FT-101 - late model 1972 including the unofficial Mk IIA (ser # >25000) was the same transceiver with major modifications to receiver, regulator, IF and audio boards.
  • An FT-101A type was never produced.
  • The FT-101B - early model 1973 (ser # <6000) 160-10m band transceiver with improved IF (PB1183B), Audio (PB1315) and Noiseblanker (PB1292) boards.
  • The FT-101B - late model 1974 160-10m band transceiver (ser # >6001) with upgraded regulator (PB1314A), IF (PB1180B) and audio (PB1315A) boards.
  • The FT-101BS (1973 only for the Japanese market) with a single 6JS6C tube and only 50 watt output.
  • An FT-101 C or D type was never produced.
  • The 1975 FT-101E 160-10m band transceiver with RF speech processor was brought out in 3 subtypes: early (ser # <15000) with (PB1494) Processor board; mid - (ser # 15001-20500) with (PB1534) Processor board and late (ser # >20501) with (PB1534A) processor, (PB1547A) regulator, (PB1183C) IF, (PB1315B) audio and (PB1582) blanker boards.
  • The FT-101EE was the economy FT-101E type which had all FT-101E specifications but without speech processor (was available as an option). Produced from 1976-1979
  • The FT-101EX was the Extreme Economy FT-101E type which had all FT-101E specifications without speech processor (available as an option); DC converter for mobile use (available as an option); microphone, DC cord, or 160M crystal and a 10A crystal only.
  • The FT-101ES was a special FT-101E model for the Japanese market only with a single 6JS6C tube and 50 watt output.
  • The FT-101F was the latest in the 160-10m band series and also had the 11m Citizens Band in the AUX position if the user inserted the proper crystal, improved (PB1582) noise blanker, speech processor and DC converter boards.
  • The FT-101FE economy FT-101F type had all FT-101F specifications except speech processor (available as an option).
  • The 1977 FT-101FX extreme economy FT-101F type had all FT-101F specifications except speech processor (available as an option), DC converter for mobile use (available as an option), microphone, DC cord, or 160M crystal, 10A crystal only. This also was the last type of the original 101 series.
  • The 1978 FT-101Z 160-10m band transceiver was the economy type model of an entirely new design with an analog scale readout but with the same ruggedness and reliability as its predecessors.
  • The 1980 FT-101ZD type with the WARC amateur bands added (first ZD models did not have WARC bands), was the same transceiver but with digital readout and with choosable AM or FM print standard included. This type was produced until 1985 and the last of the Yaesu FT-101 series which ceased production in 1986.

Famous quotes containing the word models:

    “Friends broaden our horizons. They serve as new models with whom we can identify. They allow us to be ourselves—and accept us that way. They enhance our self-esteem because they think we’re okay, because we matter to them. And because they matter to us—for various reasons, at various levels of intensity—they enrich the quality of our emotional life.”
    —Judith Viorst (20th century)

    “French rhetorical models are too narrow for the English tradition. Most pernicious of French imports is the notion that there is no person behind a text. Is there anything more affected, aggressive, and relentlessly concrete than a Parisan intellectual behind his/her turgid text? The Parisian is a provincial when he pretends to speak for the universe.”
    —Camille Paglia (b. 1947)

    “The greatest and truest models for all orators ... is Demosthenes. One who has not studied deeply and constantly all the great speeches of the great Athenian, is not prepared to speak in public. Only as the constant companion of Demosthenes, Burke, Fox, Canning and Webster, can we hope to become orators.”
    —Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
