Vely, bery interesting, Peter! I passed that info along to my friend who
is considering the MP. With what particular rig was this a problem?
I am also thinking of selling my highly modified FT-1000D to pick up a
closed-out FT-1000MP Mk 5, "at the low low price" of $2150.
I like the built-in 75W class A feature - wud save me some work on my amp
project. However, I have dual diversity RX capability in my FT-1000D now.
75M Beverage and Yagi in stereo. Outstanding. Does anyone know if an MP can
be easily modifed to do true RX diversity? It wud require a separate antenna
input, 2nd RX and stereo headphone output. And a synced VFO controlling
both RX's.
The MP's 6M feature is nice too. I had to modify my 1000D to take a
transverter in/out.
BTW, I find it funny that an FT-1000D is over 15 years older and still sells
USED for as much as this new MP. I wonder if the marketplace is telling me
to keep what I have? :-))
73,
Tom, K1JJ
