Jim, Evans has owned or owns a raft of commercial radios, inc: FT101,
F7?7,
FT221, FT817.... he has
bought homebrew equipment made by others but, as for actually building
radios, it seems to be vapour ware.
This is all supported by his own posts. He couldn't use the 101 due to not
having the manual, or some pages to
be exact, so wasn't able to tune the PA. Hard to believe I know but you
can
check the archive.

That's not true, as you well know. I chose not to tune it without the manual
as when I obtained it, it was in pristine condition desite being 30 years
old.

Translation: Having both a PLATE and LOADING control was too difficult
to figure out in spite of there being band markings on the PLATE
control and he was too stupid to figure out how to download a manual
for free.
