Scott,
IMHO it would be best not to throw more good money after bad. Keep the box
and packing nice and try to return it. Yaesu really dropped the ball on this
model. Use the return money to buy a late model MP and bank the rest.

Subject: [Yaesu] Filter Questions on the FT-1000MP Mark-V?
To: <yaesu@contesting.com>

Hello,
I am new to this list and also a new owner of the FT-1000MP Mark-V. I
bought the radio without any additional filters and I am looking for some
suggestions as to what to get for it.
I am considering INRAD filters over the optional Yaesu filters? Does anyone
know of a reason not to do this?
I read somewhere that I might have problems with the IDBT feature if I don't
go with the Optional 2.0 Khz filter that Yaesu offers. I don't believe that
INRAD carries a replacement for this filter although they do have a 1.8 Khz
and (I believe) a 2.1 Khz filter. Is this really a problem and, if so, is
there a way to work around it?
On CW, I haven't seen anything that would indicate that I need to stay
within the Yaesu optional filter values. INRAD offers a nice 125 Hz filter
for one of the IF's (but not both) and this might be a good one to go with.
Since I am asking about filters, can anyone point me to a document that
explains "simply" what all the various filtering options are with this radio
and how to configure them? The manual doesn't seem to cover this topic very
well.
Thanks and 73,
Scott, W3YX
