[Fox_Tango] CW filter and other crystals

[daveg]

Joe -

Which model 101 do you have?

I think that the WWV band position in all the 101/E/EE series is receive only because it's missing one or more transmit coils.  There is a company selling 'WARC' band kits for those radios -

Another possible option is adding a crystal for 12 meters and using the 10 meter coils.  I have a 101ZD where this was done, but the receive and transmit performance is down on 12.  It does work, however.

Band crystals for the FT-101's are listed on ebay from time to time also.

Because this rig was in fact new in the box and had never been used, I imagine the factory installed it. Maybe it could have been installed by Henry Radio where it was purchased?
