> FT-100's could have been a great radio, but personally I had two and they were fraught with issues. Between bad programming, a front end that blows itself up for fun, and fans that don't run enough, mine were annoying. Maybe someone else has had better experience with them.

Yes the FT-100 did have some problems.  Most notably the grounding on
12/10/6 meters.  I sent mine back in they fixed the grounding issues
upgraded the switches on the fans and in 7 years I have had mine in
and out of 5 company cars, and well over 250,000 miles of road abuse.
If I had to replace it I would probably have to suck it up and buy an
"I Can Only Monitor" IC-7000.
