I just received my FT1000MP from HRO in San Diego and it was received by them 
one day before shipping to me.  The S/N is 6H120030.  Sounds like a date of 
manufacturing of Aug 1996.  Is that correct?

Started to install the two 250 hz filters and the two 500 hz collins filters 
and discovered that they will go either way.  The factory installed 2.4 khz 
collins filter is upside down to the illustration in the book, but is oriented 
the same as the silk screen on the board.  The writing can be read upside down 
from the bottom-rear of the unit.

I looked at the circuitry on the collins boards and they are NOT symetrical 
(but orientation may not matter).  I would appreciate any input on the proper 
orientation of these filters.

Also need to interface to old Heathkit SB-220 and manual is still packed away 
somewhere from move.  Does it require any more than just running ALC and Relay 
Control Line and setting switch on back of FT1000MP to Linear ON position.  I 
believe the Relay control line is the return side of a 115 VAC relay and sure 
don't want to damage the MP.
