What was the World Clock from Yaesu?
Answer: QTR-24
Entry page https://www.gigaparts.n
*PRODUCT REVIEW* Yaesu QTR-24 Clock
QTR? - What is the correct time?
QTR XXXX - The correct time is XXXX hours.
First defined by the Washington 1927 ITU Radio Regulations. Later defined by ITU-R in Appendix 9 to the Radio Regulations Annex to the International Telecommunications Convention (Atlantic City) 1947. The current callsign table is found in ITU-R Appendix 42. Current interpretation of the Q-code can be found in ITU-R Appendices 14 and 15.
ITU Radio Regulations 1990, Appendix 13: Miscellaneous Abbreviations and Signals to Be Used in Radiotelegraphy Communications Except in the Maritime Mobile Service:
What year was the FT-101 first made by Yaesu?
Answer: Early 1971
Entry Page: http://www.gigaparts.n
The one before that ended March 24th and the next started March 27th, a 2 day break.
The one before that ended December 17th and the next started December 24th, a 6 day break.
The one before that ended August 22th and the next started August 27th, a 4 day break.
So they have taken longer in the past, just not recently. You're probably remembering the big Christmas giveaway
after which they took almost a week to start up again. I wouldn't have taken the time to dig up this information if they
had asked an original trivia question. They don't give me anything to do.
The early FT-101 SSB Transceiver operates as how many watts SSB?
Answer: 260
Entry page https://www.gigaparts.n
Read carefully. They were asking about the early FT-101, not the new model.
1971 FT-101
What is the supply voltage for a FTDX101MP?
Answer: 100/200V
Entry page https://www.gigaparts.n
The FTDX101MP rig comes with the FPS-101 External Power Supply. The FTDX101D does not.
FWIW, the INPUT of the FPS-101 External Power Supply is marked 100-240 V, 9 A, 50/60 Hz.
But the spec page of the combined operation manual says 100/200. I bet it runs on 240 V 50 Hz since they're selling it in Europe.

What was the last radio in the FT-101 Series?
Answer: FT-101F
Entry page https://www.gigaparts.n
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-101ZD is not one of the choices presented. 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 1980 FT-101ZD were a new design with the FT-101 name.
The FT-101Z/ZD used two 6146B heavy duty transmitting tubes instead of two 6JS6C television sweep tubes. The FT-101Z was an economy model with an analog scale readout. The ZD model
had a digital readout. Only the very last of the FT-101ZD, the MK2 Production runs, included the WARC bands.
The question is a little tricky and depends on what they mean by FT-101 Series.
