No finals. I seem to remember a few years back an article on converting the finals in a FT-101* to 6146s. Seems like a good idea now since a 6KD6 sweep tube cost a lot more than a 6146. Back when the tube rice boxes came out the sweep tubes could be had for a couple of bucks. Anyone have thoughts on this potential conversion? tnx de KA4JVY Mark __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
