I think some early D models had this problem as well. I purchased my FT-100D in 2000 and had the high SWR problem on 6 and 10. A warranty trip to Yaesu fixed it with the additional grounding.

I have not seen this problem in a FT100D before.

Are you sure its a "D"?  This was a problem on the "pre-D" models, not
only on 6 but 10 & 12 as well.  My "non-D" had to go back to Yaesu so
they could do the additional grounding that was necessary.  They
repaired it and shipped it back to me at no cost.  They also flashed
the firmware to the "D" firmware at the same time.

No problems since.
