Jose:
Back in the mid 90s I talked to a guy in Pauls Valley, OK who had an FT
101E. He had made modifications to his for better audio, but I don't know
if they mirror what you saw. Recently another friend in Amarillo, TX bought
another transmitter and sold FT 101E. It also sounded very good on the air.
I agree with Paul, they can sound very good with minor changes.

Subject: [AMRadio] AM sensitivity value: FT-101E?
Dear Paul, WA3VJB
I took very seriously your references to the
capabilities of improved FT-101E:
"The older Yaesu FT-101E can also be made to sound
very good, and the purchase price for used gear like
this is less than $400. Here's Frank's example of
the
transceiver:
http://www.wa3vjb.com/sound/WY3D-Demo.mp3";
and passed this to some colleagues over here, to
inform them and convince them to join in and help to
broaden the AM enthusiasm.
But nobody believes that such a sound could be
produced by a FT-101E!
Is there some misunderstanding?
Is this just a personal recordind of Frank speaking...
or is it a real recording of Frank's modulation by his
FT-101E being received by you (or someone else)?
Please help us to come out of this kind of "hoax",
saving the face and the real value of FT-101E ;-)
Thank you
