[Amps] ft-2000 vs pgxl

[Bob Wilson, N6TV]

The *QST *review says the TX Delay of the FT-2000 was measured at 35 ms on
SSB.  See
http://www.arrl.org/files/file/protected/Group/Members/ProductReview/pdf/pr0702.pdf
.

For the FT-2000D it is 37 ms (
http://www.arrl.org/files/file/protected/Group/Members/ProductReview/pdf/pr0710.pdf
).

73,
Bob, N6TV
