Well, I have commented before. I run the FT1000D from Aruba, an excellent
rig (P40GH). I came hope to my new Jupiter in December 2000 and very
quickly found it was every bit as good as the Yaesu. Currently in my shack
are the TS2000, neat radio, FT847, OK, and my Corsair I, TS180s,Ts940sat,
and the list goes on. The best audio reports are from the Corsair, more
punch, great sound. I run this with the 705 desk mic and about 15/20 Dbs
of compression, yes I have the 8 pole filter in the front end. My favorite
is the Jupiter because of easy quite listening. I don't have to think
about how to make changes in functions, everything is pretty easy. I do
90% faceplate operation and 10% with N4PY software. I have the ILG
software data base loaded for SWL. Jerry

Well I've been standing by watching the mail and I have a few observations
and comments. After trying out and owning
quite a few top notch rigs most of which were QST's top review in just of a
couple of years. I recently found a beautiful
Corsair II station complete......am I happy?....as ever!! I find the CII to
be very warm and elegant. Performs pretty dam
well for a $500-600 market.....well see if the FT1000D's and the like when
they have a market in the same price if
they aren't picked apart in years to come, when new test parameters are had
and designs change.
I find test measurements make hams think they are getting something special,
can you say "Analysis Paralysis"? Read
the specs and subjectively believe it. I still love my old HQ150 but why do
I need test measurements to enjoy it for
what it is.....a receiver.
Everyone has their own like/dislikes, I don't base it on someone elses
testing.
