I am trying to reach a decision as to what rig to get. I would like to hear from any topband DXers who have used the FT-2000. I am interested in any comments on this rig, good or bad, but am especial

FT-2000. I am interested in any comments on this rig, good or bad, but am especially interested in how well the receiver handles the challenge of digging out weak CW in a band full of strong signals,
Have Yaesu improved the CW keying circuitry in the FT-2000, or do we have to look forward to yet another bunch of obnoxiously clicky Yaesu radios on top band? 73, -- Ken K4XL k4xl@arrl.net ** BoatAn

have to look forward to yet another bunch of obnoxiously clicky Yaesu radios on top band? Yes, the rise and fall times are adjustable, so no more clicks... 73, Bob/AA6VB _____________________________
The 2 KHz numbers in the ARRL review are ..... AWFUL. The 2 KHz BDR is 64 dB on 80 meters. The 2 KHz IP3 is -19 dBm. That is not PLUS 19 but MINUS 19 dBm. The 2 KHz IMD dynamic range is 63 dB. WOW. T
This assumes that the op will adjust it correctly. The simple fix for 1000D/MP was there for years, just no implemented by many. Gerry VE6LB _______________________________________________ Topband ma
Indeed ! In fact, compare these FT-2000 numbers with the QST review of the FT-1000MP + Inrad roofing filter in February 2005 QST. The FT-2000, with its built-in Yaesu roofing filters, has worse 2 kHz
To be fair, almost all of the popular transceivers other than the Orion we have been using are little if any better than the FT-2000 at 2KC spacing. Most just didn't known generally because until re
Well, let's look at the numbers: FT-1000 MP FT-2000 20Kc 94 db 100 db 5 Kc 76 db 86 db 2 Kc 69 db 63 db Unfortunately, no IP3 was given for the FT-1000, so we can't look at that. As you can see, the

Yaesu radios traditionally have run very high gain at the end of the IF section, after all the filters. Since there is no selectivity or filtering in that area, the detector stage gets hit with a bro
Good Morning All: I have been following this thread with much interest as I am on the verge of ordering the INRAD roofing filter for my FT-1000MP. (not MK-V) I have two questions: 1) Is the key click
