U17696 Used Yaesu FT-101F HF Multi Mode Ham Radio Transceiver 

This vintage radio is in good condition, especially for its age.  This radio has some scratches, and wear but everything is intact and doesn't look bad   This unit is still nice all around and powers on. All of the knobs and dials are straight and function well, the lights are bright, the speaker is good, the printed text on this radio is intact, all of the ports and threads on the rear of the unit are clean.  This radio comes with the power cord and makes for a great buy! (All functions have not been tested on this unit and performing condition is not entirely confirmed.)

The 101F was the last of the 101series and had all revisions and updates. These are very hard to find

The FT-101F contained all of the latest updates and modifications which were made to the FT-101E throughout it's production.  It  included the RF Speech Processor, Hum Modifications due to AC picked up from the pilot lamp circuit, noise blanker modifications and more.  However for all practical purposes the FT-101F, FE, FX  were the same exact rig as the FT-101E, EE, EX.  Only a few of the "F" models were made and they released by 1978 and were still available until 1980, this  included the "FE" (economy) "FX" (extreme economy) model.  Sadly enough for those of us who loved the FT-101 series of transceiver, this was the end of the FT-101 as we knew it.   By 1979 Yaesu had announced a new version of the FT-101 called the "Z" and "ZD" digital models. The newer model "ZD" looked more like the FT-901 and was being called the FT-101ZD a 901 junior. The newer model "ZD" was reaching for the high technology features now more commonly found in today's amateur radio market. Including such things as IF shift, AF Notch/Peak, Memory features, Digital Readouts and the future WARC bands.  However during the previous 10 years the FT-101 established an enviable record for durability and performance throughout the world, with it's use of pluggable circuit boards that set a standard which few have been able to emulate as successfully or economically.  With an estimated 250,000 units still in use, it will be a long time before they all disappear.
