Tnx, Dick, W1KSZ

 

Dick: I use this combo.  My VL-1000 purchase was 2-3 yrs ago, when I was
using a Yaesu 950.

Worked great.  Still does.  Follows the 5000MP, remembering the last
settings.    My antenna is a Force12 5BA, which has three feed lines: 20;
15-17;  12-10.  So port 1 feeds 20.  Port 2 feeds 15-17.  Port 3 feeds
12-10.,  Port 4 feeds my loop for 40-80-160.  The amp remembers which is
chosen from the rig.  Also remembers the mode last used and any other
settings.   So you could say I highly recommend the combo.     I hope this
helps.
