Otherwise, you might make sure the ft100d wasn't screwed up when it
"was taken out of band." If nothing else, the warranty is probably
void, and you'll have to finance your own servicing.

I doubt the warrenty was voided by modding it. People mod them all the time for
"MARS" and "CAP" use and it's perfectly fine. Since there seems to be only one
mod for MARS/CAP, it should be ok. It will also allow you to operate on the new
60 meter band!

Is this a good value for an FT-100D?

What is the ATAS-120? What does it do that the original can not?
What are the improvements?

In the AES catalog, the 100 is discontinued and $270, the 120 is $330.
Contact Yaesu if you need more info, or do your own research on
Google.

I friend wants to sell me his FT-100D with the ATAS-100 and
connectivity kit for $700. The only time it was taken out of the box
was to have the radio taken out of band. Is this a reasonable price?

BTW, what is the difference between the ATAS-100 and the ATAS-120 (or
is it 102)?
