I had a 101E as my first rig. Wish I had kept it. It was a solid
performer.
I now have Icom 775DSP, Ten-Tec Orion, Yaesu 9000D and Kenwood 480HX. The
Orion is my choice for CW ops. The Yaesu is a toy, much fun to play with.
The Icom functions as spotter and is very reliable. The Kenwood is a great
DXpedition rig.
IMO the Orion is the best bang for the buck, but if you are set on a Yaesu,
I would wait for the 2000.

Subject: [Yaesu] ANY good nw Yaesus?
I subscribed to this reflector a long time ago and have never asked
anything before. It seems like there are a lot of problems with the newer
Yaesus.
Currently, I'm running my late dad's ft-102. I pulled it out of the attic
to see if it still worked and have been using it for about 5 years now as
my primary rig. I've been looking for a moderately priced (less than the
cost of a new car) rig for dxing and contesting (cw and ssb) and that
includes a decent 6 meter section. What do you guys suggest? I still have
my FT101e and also had an FT101zd, so I have some loyalty to the brand
(showing my age, huh?).
Also, have a Icom 735 gathering dust, but after what I went through with
their service department, I vowed never to but another Icom.
Any ideas, guys?
