Yes the FT-100 did have some problems. Most notably the grounding on
12/10/6 meters. I sent mine back in they fixed the grounding issues
upgraded the switches on the fans and in 7 years I have had mine in
and out of 5 company cars, and well over 250,000 miles of road abuse.
If I had to replace it I would probably have to suck it up and buy an
"I Can Only Monitor" IC-7000.
