OK maybe I should have added this to the original post so here goes.

Yes, I tried a different piece of coax (twice) that was in service on a higher band just to make
sure.  All three pieces were virtually brand new JSC RG-8X less than 25' long.

The FT-100 has had the mods performed by Yaesu while under warranty.

I have used the FT-100 on other antennas (after mod) and do not get the SWR icon.

During the contest I used the FT-100 on my 1/4 whip on the trunk and had no problems.

Yes, I like the antenna and am going to buy the 222 now that I have 222 in my FT-736.  I'm sure
that something has just come loose that is within my skill capablities, I just need to find out
how to get into the "black box" and fix it without tearing the black box up.
