Yaesu FT-101

Acquired June 2016. Later serial number of the 101 ( <25,000 ). fixed problems found with the first release.
One of the radios from Japan that killed off the American radio manufacturers.

August 2016. Another great find. A Spectrtonics DD-1 digital display for my 101.

And the pile gets bigger. Got a steal deal on a used Timewave DSP-9.
Works great with my vintage radios.


Acquired July 2016. Mark II built September 1080 just in time to be good on the Vintage SSB Net.
