[VHFcontesting] Yaesu FT100D problem on 6m

[John Geiger]

What was the fix for this?  It is a late model (2L serial number range)
that should have the grounding mod done at the factory.  It doesn't seem to
have problems with any other bands, like some of them did.  This is one
temperamental model, that is for sure.
