[Yaesu] opinions needed

Fri May 21 10:43:41 EDT 2010

Well, I've had an FT100 in my car forever; and am going to be replacing it
pretty soon with an IC-7000. No so much because the FT100 isn't a great
radio; but, time and features march on.
In terms of repair - I wouldn't give you $.02 for Yaesu service or repair.
 I have several experiences with them, ALL consistently HORRIBLE. I
think I shared my last one (about 2 years ago now) with the list, you
might be able to still find it.
I have had good luck with both Burqhardt (sp?) Amateur and ICOM.
