Newer rigs (TS-870, IC-775, FT-1000MP) were thoroughly tested by ARRL, RSGB and
DARC and all data show remarkable strong signal performance of new YAESU. K7JA
surprised me with a fact that relays are used for input RX filter switching so
no problem with IMD2 & IMD3 at the most sensitive spot. I am amazed that after
all the nice figures available, people still make subjective claims regarding
FT1000D v FT1000MP versus rest of the rigs. At least we got rid of "Buy USA"
propaganda :-)

P.S. Does anybody uses superb JST-245 in contests?
