The Yaesu FT-101B is a classic Japanese-built amateur HF transceiver, produced in the early 1970s, that combines a solid-state transmitter, receiver, and tube final amplifier in a single chassis. It is widely regarded as one of the most reliable "workhorse" rigs of its era, still in active use decades later.
The FT-101B is a 1970s-era modular HF transceiver combining a solid-state transmitter, receiver, and tube final amplifier. It covers 160-10m amateur bands, offers USB/LSB SSB, CW, and AM modes, and is notable for its plug-in circuit boards for easy maintenance.
Check for visible damage, verify module seating, and ensure supply voltage matches the label. Then perform receiver and transmitter alignment per the manual, including pre-tuning and final tuning steps, and adjust MIC gain for AM to avoid over-driving the final.
Typical output: 260W SSB, 180W CW, 80W AM on all bands. Frequency stability is less than 100 Hz drift in any 30-minute period when properly adjusted.
