[Yaesu] FT101ZD history question

[John Geiger (NE0P)]

Thanks Sean for the info.  If I recall correctly (and that is a big IF), I head it referred to as the ZDA in a phone call to AES in Milwaukee, and maybe in an AES catalog.  They mentioned that it was a replacement for the current model, which was being replaced.  So I don't know if the ZDA (if it ever existed) was the MKII or MKIII.

I know they labelled verious updates to the ZD as the MKII and MKIII, but I seem to remember seeing one described as the FT101ZDA.  Don't know if they ever labelled it as such, and couldn't find anything on a google search.  Anyone else remember a FT101ZDA?
