Hi All, A ham friend ( Loren AD6ZJ ) asked me to recommend a rig as he is just getting into contesting. His code speed is barely good enough for S&Ping right now but he's working on it. He does do SS
If $1000 is not enough than how much would he have to lay out - $1500? My $.02 worth ... There is no question that the 1000D is a better (depending on your requirements) rig than the 1000MP. That sai
the first digit of the s/n is the last digit of the year of manufacture. The next character, always a letter, represents the month of manufacture where "C" = January (go figure, it must be some speci
Bill, I must interject one comment here. Computer interfacing to an FT1000 could not be simpler. All that's required is a Dsub connector and a DIN connector. Len, K1NU sells interface cables for many
Yes how difficult can 2 transistors and 3 resistors be! By the way, most any NPN "small signal" transistor will work. http://www.albany.net/~bg/Mods/1000D232.htm Also roofing filter is no issue eithe
I have two 1000Ds that have these mods, and I added the roofing filter to each when it became available. The difference is like night and day. Nearby station interference is greatly reduced. 73! - je
Interesting Bill. I have my shack all apart and was looking at the number on my Field. Those sure are tiny numbers/letter. I have diabetes and my eyes are changing all the time anyway. Mine is: 5J330
Understand, well I was surprised in my findings. I did get the same result on two radios. However being an engineer I have to belive what my own measurements tells me. What might be interesting is to
