S'pose I'll toss in my notes as well.  I have an early 1998 model, and
except for a rather strange PLL lock issue that affected CW when the rig
was 3 weeks old (returned to Yaesu, they could not reproduce, I've not
had the symptoms return since) the rig has been trouble free.  I use all
modes, operate on average 3 times a week, do occasional extended contest
sessions and no sticky relay symptoms to date.  I do have the occasional
"wait" for the display to fire up on cold mornings, but the wait is
usually 3-5 seconds at most when it occurs, not the extended periods
some list member have noted.
