[Yaesu] FT-102 Question

[Floyd Sense]

I believe that almost ALL FT-102 problems are related to relays.  I once
bought an FT-102 that Mal had replaced the relays in a couple of years
before.  I had to have him do it again.  Mal told me that he has to test all
the new relays before installation, and that the failure rate of brand new
relays is quite high.  Best of luck with this.
