Issue I have is new radios life span of the radio and parts. seems the FT101 has lived 50 years I wonder how long new radio going last? seems like parts are discontinued few years after production and you need another radio for boards. good luck fixing these new boards you need be electronics expert to do it . I have a HW 101 from 1970 era it still works, wonder if that FTDX 101D going work after 50 years? bells whitsles and DSP is fine but longevity ? thanks for video Tony ve4akf

Well I agree you have raised a very valid point. The construction methodology & technology and type of electronic componenets have changed radically overtime & longevity on these modern rigs can not be guranteed & compared with old cool analog transceivers. Thanks for supporting the channel. Cheers

Nice comparision. I like old TRX

[@spacetimeengineering]

I do too but new one is also cool device. Thanks for supporting the channel. Cheers

The FTDX101 needs to have amp 1 enabled to be equal. The 101E does not have an IPO setting.

Agree this was a quick video during the flat dead band conditions. I am planning to record and tune both transceovers on 14 Mhz during maximum band activity this weekend & I am sure that will be intresting to see a 50 years old next to the best of nowadays by among Yaesu. So stay tunes for that. BTW Thanks for supporting the channel. Cheers
