[VHFcontesting] Yaesu FT857/897 reliability

[John Geiger <aa5jg@yahoo.com>]

Have the current crop of Yaesu FT897D and FT857D (within the last 2 years or 
so) had all of the problems worked out of them?  I know some of the early 
models had problems with RF feedback changing the hidden menus, and an 
incorrect bias affecting 6m audio, things like that.  Have these been fixed?  
Are there any other recurring problems showing up in these radios-or other 
things that affect the reliability of them?

Either one looks like it would make a great rover radio.
