hi Van - I put roofers into both my 1000Ds. You will not see any improvement
under 'casual' conditions. However, I saw a dramatic improvement under
contest/crowded conditions. The biggest improvement was in pulling weak to
average signals out of the muck. This improvement occurred for all modes -
phone, cw, rtty. On rtty I am especially happy because one of those darn robots
can fire up right next to me and they no longer obliterate the other stations...
