[Yaesu] FT-1000MP & YO-100

[Paul Christensen]

John,

Thanks for the reply.  I don't know about any problems with using the YO-100
with the FT-101 and quite honestly, don't care.  I would like to use the
YO-100 with the FT-1000MP and I'm looking for help from anyone who has
accomplished this.  Thanks again.

-Paul, W9AC
