Doesn't matter - the FT-100 has not been type accepted for use in the CB bands
and would therefore be technically illegal to operate on 11m.

I say "technically" because (1) the FCC has more important things to do than
to chase 100W radios used on 11m, and (2) there are a *lot* of folks on 11m
who use more than the legal limit.

I wouldn't worry too much about it, frankly.
