I used to use a pair of Yaesu 101s. :) Loved them. I had the opportunity to buy a restored set cheap. Still kicking myself in the ass for not doing so.

I had two "sets" back in 2004-2005:
An FR-101D/FL-101; the receiver had the digital display, 2/6M converters, FM board and several of the SW BCB crystals and the transmitter had the accessory speech processor.
An FR-101S (analog) and an FT-201. The latter was a redesigned FT-101 whose ergos and cosmetics were identical to the FR-101, but you couldn't transceive with the set - the IF frequencies were slightly different so it wasn't possible for one to supply reference signals to the other. This particular 101 just escaped Katrina and when I got the thing I equipped it with all the spare AUX/WARC/SWBCB crystals I could find. It had both converters and the FM board as well. Both receivers had all available filters.
I sold both plus a lot more Yaesu gear to a guy from Indiana in 2006.
Nice rigs. They did some things which my Drake and Kenwood twins didn't.

I'm looking for the best post Boat anchor (minimum tubes) for transmitting Amplitude Modulation. I want to take up the full 6 kHz bandwidth using a high fidelity speech processed voice

Thank you again Sir. I read the AMwindow mod to the 940. I like the simpler external mod to the 940. I like the idea of installing a fancier commercial speech modulator/processor. I figured you for an ICOM user/Cubic Collector, but you really don't seem to have any brand loyalty. Your radio knowledge seems to border on "Commercial Repair Facility". Is that what you do?
