I thought the FT-100D is nothing more than a FT-100 with a bigger speaker,
TCXO, CTCSS decoder and CW filter? Kind of like the FT-1000/FT-1000D. I
dont remember seeing anything mentioned about circuit updates or
improvements. If I'm wrong please correct me on this but Yaesu's web page
only mentions, "adding the convenience of factory-installed modules for
today's Ham on the go!" Does anyone know for a fact if they have improved
the radio or did they just add some bolt on items to the FT-100?
