Agree, would look for a good FT900 and if it does not have the SSB filter
get one from IRAD. Mine has seen everything a Timex has and it just keeps
ticking. One great rig for mobile.

John,
I have heard several FT-100s on 40m mobile...most of them had RF on the
audio. I'd wait a year or two before I buy one of those....you can get a
FT-900 for much less and have a first class mobile rig...also the ICOM
705MK3s are going for very nice prices these days. Not sure where Yaesu is
coming from these days...they seemed to be missing the market a bit with the
FT-100.
Small yes but flexible, not so sure and clearly it is having RFI problems
from the small sample I've heard. But if you like being a test subject -- go
for it, HAHA.
HAVE FUN,
dave

p.s. I run an FT-900 in my truck. When I first installed it there was so
much RF floating around in
the vehicle that I got an RF burn off the speaker ground, yet the
transmit audio was crystal
clear. Every feature in that FT-900 works great. With my simple
modification for the RF gain
control the rig is a dream to operate...
