budget FT101e
|
Time owned: 3 to 6 months
|
I've got a FTdx400, a FT101e and a FT201. De FT201 is a budget sister of the 101e. The savings are in the construction. The modules are not in the nice computer-like slots like in the 101. The preselection is a variable Capacitor instead of the 3 moving coils like in the 101. Crystals are soldered on the print instaed of push-in holders.
I prefer the 101e over the 201. The 101e is more excact on the dial, it is more easy to tune on weak signals. The filtering is good like the 101 is.I plan to give it a good overhaul like i gave my 101 and i think it will be a bit better after that.
You seldom see them here because the 101e was about the same price over here and included 160m
The tubes are the same like in the 101 and difficult to get because you need the japanees ones. It is not as service friendly as the 101e.
If you find one, buy it, its a nice rig and they are not expensive but if you have the choice go for the 101.

FT-201 rig
|
Time owned: more than 12 months
|
I have an FT-201 since 1 year. Got it used from an old om in germany, who wanted to reduce his shack. Havenīt seen this rig up to now in any auctions. Looks very similar to the FT-101 and is also equipped with two 6JS6C finals.
Has an excellent filter on SSB. No 160m band !
