*About two years ago, I paid the euro equivalent of about $2000 for
mine. It came with the BPF, and a couple of extra filters, which made it
almost an FT-1000D. I did the W8JI mods, filled the two remaining empty
slots with INRADs, and also fitted the roofing filter. I also have an
MP, and an FT2000. The FT2000 is a lovely rig, but the 1000D is slightly
better in pulling out the really difficult ones. They are impossible to
find over here, and I'm not surprised... I certainly won't be parting
with mine...{:o)*
