The only time I've experienced this problem was when using cheap,
non-Amphenol PL-259s where they attached to the MP.  Before you blame Yaesu,
make sure you're not using any Radio Shack, or "hamfest special" patch
cables, or RF connectors - especially those horrible right-angle adapters.
(I once purchased pre-assembled 6 foot patch cables at a hamfest that looked
fine, but exhibited a 3:1 VSWR at 30 MHz into a dummy load!)
