[VHFcontesting] Yaesu FT100D problem on 6m

[Dave Olean]

Mike,
    I am talking about measuring the internal wiring INSIDE the FT-100D. To 
do that you must tap in the TX feedline after the amplifier stage and then 
put a 50 ohm load on the output connector. Of course I am guessing all this 
without seeing or having any experience with the Yaesu radio!  The SWR 
circuit could be flakey as well.
