ABOUT ------------------------------------- The Canadian-made Magnum Dynalab FT 101 is perhaps the last of the analog tuners-and the only new one to come our way in some years. Its tuning knob, a vanishing feature on today's digital tuners, varies the setting of a potentiometer whose output voltage controls the frequency of a voltage-controlled oscillator. A heavy flywheel provides the silky, freewheeling action that used to be a hallmark of a good tuning mechanism.  
The only other controls on the handsome black panel are five lever switches for power, mono/ stereo mode, wide/narrow IF bandwidth, AFC (a bit sticky), & mute. In the middle is a zero-center tuning meter whose pointer indicates the correct tuning setting. To its right is the RF input meter, which reads relative signal strength, and to its left is a multipath indicator.  
The FT 101's only obvious concession to digital technology is a large green frequency readout below the tuning meter. An internal frequency counter measures the frequency of the local oscillator and subtracts the 10.7-MHz IF frequency, so that the readout shows the actual frequency (to the nearest 0.1 MHz) to which the tuner is set.  
The rear apron of the tuner contains an F-type coaxial connector for a 75-ohm fm antenna and two pairs of audio output jacks. Marked HI and LO, these jacks carry the audio signal at two different fixed levels for compatibility with preamplifiers (such as a few British models) whose line-level inputs are designed to operate with low-level input signals.  
The front panel of the FT 101, which is slotted for rack mounting, is 19 inches wide and 3-5/8 inches high. It weighs 12 pounds.
