Here's a coincidence!
I just received an email from a buddy who is considering buying an
FT-1000MP. They are being closed out and discontinued according to a
salesman.
Here's the salesman's comments about the class A stage. This was written by
my buddy based upon his conversation:
"The MP Mark 5's are being closed out by XXX at $XXXX. [I deleted the X
info] The salesman, a DXer/contester said it is being discontinued. The
class A amp capability proved to be a negative. If you can believe this, it
allowed others to "nustle" in too close to you if your IMD was that far down
and make your RXing difficult if not impossible. You need some artifacts to
hold others at bay!"
I won't even comment on that one... [gag - cough]

Tom, K1JJ
