[Yaesu] Yaesu FT897/857 reliability

[John Geiger]

Have the current crop of Yaesu FT897D and FT857D (within the last 2 years or so) had all of the problems worked out of them?  I know some of the early models had problems with RF feedback changing the hidden menus, and an incorrect bias affecting 6m audio, things like that.  Have these been fixed?  Are there any other recurring problems showing up in these radios-or other things that affect the reliability of them?
