Yaesu FT-101E HF Transceiver - Nice Condition -

Description

This is a nice Yaesu FT-101E HF Transceiver. The radio covers the traditional HF Bands, 160, / 80/75 / 40 / 20 / 15 / 10 Meters as well as the 11 meter "CB" band - NOTE: the 11 Meter band switch position covers the traditional 27.000 - 27.500 MHz coverage range, and WWV on 10 MHz in receive only. Supported modes are CW, LSB, USB, and AM. It was built in 1976. It is a hybrid rig, meaning it is all solid state with the exception of the transmit driver, (12BY7), and final tubes, (2 X 6JS6C). This one also has the optional CW filter installed as well as the stock SSB filter. It puts out a solid 100 watts on all bands, (photos show 160, 20, and the upper part of 10 meters - readings were taken in "Tune" position). Receive works fine on all bands as well. All functions and controls appear to work as they should. The meter & VFO lamps are "cool white" LED's, even though they look blue in the photos. Cosmetically, I'd rate it a 7 out of 10. The cabinet has the usual scrapes, scuffs, and scratches. The front panel and controls are in good condition. I've used this rig on 80, 40, and 20 meter side band with no issues and excellent signal reports. The 11-pin octal plug on the rear panel includes a pigtail for keying an external amplifier - NOTE: this plug must be installed in order for the final tube filaments to get power. This auction includes the radio, the AC power cord, a generic hand mic, and a printed copy of the operating manual - The Dummy load / wattmeter IS NOT INCLUDED.  Since this is a 45+ year old radio, it is being sold "AS IS". The radio will be shipped via FedEx Ground for actual shipping costs which I'd estimate to run between - in the ConUS depending on the buyer's location. Thanks for looking!
