YAESU FT101E VINTAGE TRANSCEIVER UPDATE.
Part one.
It was the workhorse of the Yaesu from 1970, year of start of production to the 80s. It seems to be the apparatus, in the various versions, more produced by Yaesu. I bought it in a duty free shop of Panama, Canal Zone, in 1974, in that time I was working, in those places. I paid it 500 US $ and the serial number is 5L 310554. More historic info about Yaesu FT101E in this link.
YAESU FT101E VINTAGE TRANSCEIVER UPDATE PART TWO

For this installation I helped myself, following the advice, of the instruction manual of the Yaesu FT101E which is available for reading and download here.
