Hi,
My YL & I have Yaesu FT-90s in our cars. We have been more than satisfied
with them except on cool mornings after they've sat out overnight unused for
a day or two. Then either the display goes south and/or the rig refuses to
xmit, or to recv (not necessarily all at once) until fiddled with (e.g.,
keyed up, tune knob twisted, cursed, et cetera) awhile. Once it works, it's
good to go for the day. I've been told that Yaesus are afraid of the dark
and to put a light bulb under them but that'd be a pain since they're
mobile. Anybody know a solution?

TIA, K3DWW

I've got a solution... Throw away those FT-90 and get a good radio!

I looked at those for about 10 minutes, until I found all the horror stories
about them.

Sorry I don't have a constructive answer for you, but I felt the need to put
in my $.02.

Typical 'Andy the VHFBOOB' comments. Which further proves what a total
dumbass he is.

We have had two like that here in Chicago that do not work when cold.
Seems like either a lot issue or the radio is not designed for cold weather.
