Dave,
I am part of a small group of local contesters here in Aruba and am
planning on purchasing a 1000MP in the (very?) near future.
Still looking for all the options (filters etc.) to order with it.
Hopefully I am not sounding top foolish here, but what does the BPF mod
do?
I don't think I'll be anywhere close to colorado in September, but am
always interested in new stuff.
