The FT101 family have the RF preselector ganged to the driver tuning. They were set at the design stage to track properly with a Toshiba driver valve. Other makes have slightly different stray capacitances and as a result if you peak the preselector on receive, the transmitter winds up a bit off song and it costs you power, worse on the upper bands.
It might be this old issue, but no guarantees.
