Note
Introduced in 1976 as a matching, direct-companion accessory for the Yaesu FT-301 and FT-301D series HF transceivers, which were famous for being Yaesu's first all-solid-state 100-watt HF rigs. The FC-301 remained in production alongside the FT-301 series until the line was discontinued around the turn of the decade.
