[Boatanchors] FT-101

[Barrie Smith]

 By the way how can you own a Bird watt meter and not have a good 
dummy load? A light bulb?

I do have a good dummy load, but it's just 60 watts.  Use it mostly for setting-up 432 and 1296 transverters, and such.

What's wrong with a light bulb?  That's what most of us used back in the 1950s.

Anyway, thanks for all the information, guys.

Sounds as if the 101 won't make a good VFO/driver.

That leads to another question:  What affordable rig would make a good VFO/driver for a class C final?
