Myazin-Shoten Senpai! I recently purchased the FR101 for the equivalent of 4000 yen and when your video came along I was so happy to see the same receiver with its full line up. I only started amateur radio in 1985 by which time the FR/FL lineup had been superceded by things like the FT101 as a flagship model. Your radio is in a much nicer condition than mine so it inspires me to restore it to full new condition. Good health and Best wishes from the UK. George G0JKZ

George G0JKZ, thanks for your comment from the UK. In Japan, the FT-101 was overwhelmingly more common, and the FR-101 and FL-101 were few on the market. In addition, they were expensive, so not many people could afford them, and I was one of them. However, 50 years later, an amateur radio operator in Hokkaido gave me this pair as a gift. I was so happy, it was like I had met my first love. DE JE1AEJ TOKYO JAPAN
