Can a Yaesu FT-101E be modified to rx/tx on 2M/73CM HAM Bands?
Will be taking my Tech License for ham radio in a couple weeks. Wanting to know if my Yaesu FT-101E can be modified to receive/transmit on the bands a Tech license is allowed to transmit on? Thanks for any info you can supply.

Yes, with transverters, but only on SSB or CW.
The transverter advice is correct, but if you want to work local repeaters they won’t help. The 101E doesn’t do FM, nor does it have CTCSS capability needed for repeater work. It will still be an inexpensive way to get on 6M SSB (one of my favorite bands in the summer!) and you can probably rig it for digital work on 10M (RTTY, PSK-31, etc)
And you can still work HF with your Tech license;
80 Meters Technician classes:
3.525-3.600 MHz: CW Only
40 Meters Technician classes:
7.025-7.125 MHz: CW Only
15 Meters Technician classes:
21.025-21.200 MHz: CW Only
10 Meters Technician classes:
28.000-28.300 MHz: CW, RTTY/Data–Maximum power 200 watts PEP
28.300-28.500 MHz: CW, Phone–Maximum power 200 watts PEP
There are 4 bands you can use on HF! (You didn’t specify phone only or if CW was ok too)
