Q: What was the last radio in the FT-101 Series?
A: FT-101F
The FT-101F was produced in 1977
The last radio in the FT-101 Series that came out in 1980 and produced until 1986 was the
FT-101ZD. but FT-101F is the answer they want.
The 1977 FT-101FX was the last type of the original 101 series.
The 1978 FT-101Z and the The 1980 FT-101ZD were a new design with the FT-101 name.
The question is a little tricky and depends on what they mean by FT-101 Series.
Once again they are asking questions about an old radio that only a few old timers remember.
