And I hear there is a lot more problems with that rig.
the mic audio for one.
It's a shame Yaesu did not turn any of them on before
they left the factory. :-(

It's IM rejection is non-existent. I bought one and sent it back to
YAESU for the IM "fix". It now sits in a box in the cellar. It's
USELESS.

Hello,

It's not bullet-proof, but the Yaesu FT7100 has an idiot-proof running mode
where only the memories can be used with no frequency tuning capabilities.
Very convenient when using the alphnumeric memory labelling.

There must be other duoband rigs handling this mode.

The FT7100 has also digital (packet abilities) up to 9k6 bauds limited to a
TXDelay of 16 (160ms).

Well, moot point -- the ft-7100 isn't sold anymore.
