Was it? I didn't catch that. Doing too many things while it was on, I
guess. I saw him playing with a VHF rig, at one point. But, yeah, an FT
101 would do it.


It was an FT101F to be exact, I just looked.


It was a pretty decent rig. One of my buddies from college swore by his.


It and the Kenwood TS-520 were the mainstay of Japanese radios for a
long time. Good solid radios. Easy to use, almost impossbile to damage,
good sound.
