Yes, the notch is not great on the 1000D. But otherwise they are about equal
in performance. I would hate to give up the option of being able to receive
on 2 different bands even though I might not use it too often. If you need
noise reduction and auto notch, get a external dsp unit. The dsp is not in
the agc loop on a MkV anyway. I like big radios with big knobs. Do the W8JI
noise blanker mod for better receive IMD performance. You'll have a super
radio. Used 1000Ds are going for about the same price as a new MkV. Not a
great trade in my book but your mileage may vary, as they say. If you want
to sell your 1000D let me know. I might be interested.

Subject: [Yaesu] ft1000d vs MK V
Hey gang,
I just got done using my ft1000d for the 1st time in crowded band cndx
during
the SS, & was less than impressed. To be honest, I prefer my ICOM 746 over
this thing, due to the auto-notch & ANF. The notch on the 1000d is useless.
So, I was thinking of selling the D & buying a new MK V, what are you
opinions of both rigs side by side. I have no use for the dual RX, never use
it, I do
SO2R (single-op, 2 radio) during contests.
