I am quite sure this FT-101E was as CB queen in its past life.
I agree. My FT101EE was the same. There were parts removed and not replaced for no obvious reason. There were also parts that had been removed but put back in the wrong place.
Like yourself, I had to buy a whole set of heterodyne crystals just to get the correct ones for 10M.
Those CB crystals are still popular in spite of the CB bands appearing dead. I resold all the un-needed heterodyne crystals but the CB ones were bid up to over twice the price of the legit crystals.
Hope you feel better soon!
