[Yaesu] Voltage

Lately, again and again, I hear that rigs won't operate at less than
14 volts or something as silly.

If a rig won't operate at 12 volts, which is the nominal value, and I mean
through the production cycle, the amateur population should be notified,
and the manufacturer should fix such items gratis.

To be honest, I think this is a bunch of bunk. The real nominal value, I gather
is 13.8 volts. If you need 15, there is something wrong with the radio.
