[Yaesu] PROBLEMS WITH FT-102

[David Thompson]

I have several set ups selected by a 6 position HoFI coax switch.  Both my 
older FT-980 and IC-740 don't seem to be switched until I use my Heath 
Remote Coax switch to activate them.  Seems with my massive switch set up 
both transceivers need a bump to wake them up.  I notice just now my old 
boatanchor HQ-129X  also needs a bump.  I can transmit and do the same 
thing.

Taking the Yaesu out of the circuit and putting it on my 80 vertical dipole 
its comes up right away.
The Icom on the other hand still needs a bump to wake it up.

I did have a problem with my original FT-980 and the relays were dusty (My 
shack is in a basement).
I run my air cleaner every so often to help with that situation.
