Browning Golden Eagle Mark ll.....but my all time favorite is the Yaesu FT-101EE (though not really concidered a CB) I still have the same one after 20+ plus years.

I have an FL101-FR101S-FR101D lineup; the two receivers came with crystals for their 11M bandswitch positions.

Neat receivers. They have their limitations (no IF shift, notch filter, etc) but are really fun to use on the 75/40/20/10M AM nets. I currently have an amplified D-104 mic hooked to the transmitter; run with a small amount of preamp gain. The rig gets excellent reports.

I'll say one thing about the -101 line as a whole: If you don't severely abuse them, the radios will last darned near forever...most of today's rigs simply cannot make that claim.

Oh yeah, the old 101 series were built well. At one point I had 3.....2 EE's and an EX, One of the EE's I still have. Around 3 weeks ago I traded for a FT-101 (the ones with the white power/heater switches) in great shape only the tubes wouldn't light. Checked all the "obvies" then noticed a heavy thump when I would turn it over......loose transformer. After removing the case. the 4 bolts holding the trans. was backed out ~1/8th inch :?: after tightening them, I applied power and turned on the heater.......the tubes came to life. It works fine except the RX needs a little alignment......not bad for ~30 dollars My apologies for straying off the topic.....73's. Pluto
