Стерьва?😮📻😮

very nice

I own an early FT-101 with no letter designation and this helps tremendously. Thank you.

Great radios i have one shame about those odd knob's Mike

Had this radio in 2015, regrett selling it now. It had flickering secondary display which could not be rectified.

Excellent. Thank you!

Nice old radio! The "transmit" button does actually put it into transmit, like all the other Icom radios. Remember if you are on SSB there will be no power going out when you are in transmit till you input some audio either via the microphone on the line/audio in connector. A quick test would be to put it into AM or FM mode, then there will be output when you press the transmit button. I love this radio because it has a true dual receiver including a second VFO knob. I used 2 of these radios for years as my contest station.

Very nice video, many thanks! Robert K5TPC

...is your camera from 1979 too?

Nicely done !! Pete G4TFH

Which was the easiest (? most pleasant) to use?

Your thumb and finger make much distance when operating the paddles.

Happy days; I used to own an FT101E, magic rig!

Very informative and great timing for me, as I have recently acquired a Kenwood TS520 from the 70s era. Thank you!

I have the Kenwood TS520....caused me no end of issues in the HT cage but since changing the bottles and neutralising them been very nice to use. 73 de VK2AOE

That's not ladder-line. Ladder-line actually looks like a ladder. That's window-line. I once helped a 14 yo girl get her Amateur Extra license. But she was on her own with the 20 wpm CW as I didn't know CW at the time. A few days after she got her license her dad bought her a used FT-101for HF and she asked me to come over and show her how to tune up the tube outputs since the rig came without instructions. I found it amusing that an Amateur Extra needed me, a tech class ham to show her how to use her rig, since I wasn't licensed to play with the rig that she didn't know how to use unless she was there as the control op. :)

Excellent timing, I bought one of these last week!

Thanks for renewing my intrest in my old FT-101B ! I haven't paid much attention to it lately, and such great transceivers need to be used and given some TLC !! Fred - W4FJF. 73's

Great video, many thanks!!! Robert K5TPC

Thanks for these videos! A friend gave me an FT-101 a few years ago, but I haven’t figured out how to use it. I powered it up, and it receives well, but I wasn’t sure if it transmitted or if I had it set correctly. I have a general license, but I haven’t (successfully) transmitted on HF yet. I’ll re-watch your videos and try again. 🙌

Very good.

Hi, I've just pulled one of these from my late fathers loft. It's immaculate, are they worth much?

Thank you so much

Brilliant big and small changes and definitely gave ideas for our Microlite. Thank you very much!

Apa nama klip nya paman

Basically that’s a really helpful video! Thank you!

Hi Mike B. I've bought mini snipe nosed pliers, but I'm still struggling to remove the square metal clips. Are you putting the pliers behind the main part of the clip (to get to the back piece) or nipping the back piece against the front? I hope I'm making sense. Btw, my greenhouse is an 8ft x 12ft (with three horizontal rows of glass on the roof)

As an afterthought, what is the best way to clean the glass please? Any help will be gratefully received. Thanks

Thanks for the video....basicly...😅

Thanks for this well made and informative radio. I have one of these bought in a job lot from a SK sale. I don't know if works yet but your information is both helpful and inspiring. Best 73 G0ACE

Best thing to do is download the assembly drawings which gives you the glass sizes and where they should be go that’s what I did and it made the whole process a lot easier

I found a site stating that the radio needs and antenna 10 to 30 meters long but they seem impracticable to me because itd surely be flopping about everywhere

If youve still got this or just know how its done, how have you wired up your connections, for the aerial and earth? Im not in the radio hobby but i have a PCR 1 with the PSU however signal is weak. Best signal i got was by using the old aerial cable on the roof of my house

I had an S750 here for repair many years ago and when I'd finished the job I didn't want to give it back, it performed very well indeed. I came across what I think must have been an EB35 in somebody's shack once, similar in appearance to the EC10 but it had VHF as well and I made an unsuccessful offer for it, although I wasn't as impressed with it as the S750 it was at least an Eddystone and I think every radio hobbyist should own at least one Eddystone in their lifetime, hope I get lucky soon.

Hi Tip… Reduce RF gain when using BFO in order to balance up the ssb signal against the bfo level. Like the FRG7, a knob twiddlers delight and I have both! Regards Dave G4BTI OCT 23.

Many thanks

I have two greenhouses like that and I would like to make one big one, is that possible? Thanks

That was basically very helpful. Thanks! 😁

Great video! Thank you

you are putting the glass clips in wrong mate.

Use a wing mirror.

Not enough detail about dismantling the frame.

Thanks very much for this!

Basically no mention of removing glass from window or actually removing the window from greenhouse.😢

excellent! :)

i admire your patience and to detail

I knew nothing about greenhouse construction until watching this very helpful video. My son, who handily lives next door, had a 6'x8' Eden greenhouse he did not need, use or want. I grew some great Alicante beef, and Roma plum tomatoes in it this year, a pepper and cucumber. It also had a fruiting grapevine inside, some 40+ years old. I have 'adopted' both. With 50 panes removed (none broken!), my wife and I lifted the whole frame, minus door, over the 5' hedge (not bad for two mid-70's OAPs, photos to prove!) and it now sits on its new flagged base. Seals out, moss removed, wire brushed then pressure-washed, glass cleaned, it will look great. I re-planted the vine outside this time to go in through a bottom corner, hoping it will survive. Just door, window and glass to replace - and the missing door runners! Yes, a window-fixing bolt sheared but will swap for another where a normal bolt will do. Many thanks, Mike, for the time and trouble taken. Great job - basically 🙂
