[Yaesu] Plasma TV interference??

Mon Oct 19 10:18:33 EDT 2009

Sorry to hear abt yur problem, I can certauinly understand it.
My solution would be to sell that puppy and get an LCD TV of equal quality.
Just stay awaw from Sanyo! I got a 42" Sanyo LCD, and it drove me crazy 
trying to set it up!
Finally Called the factory for tech help and solved the problem, but 
don't want to go down that trail again.
Doc.
