[CQ-Contest] FT1000MP Mods

[Richard Lubash]

Hi Mike,

I have installed the mod and it is definitely worth the cost. It is a plug
in mod that is easy to install and remove. You can get quite a lot of
feedback on the INRAD mod in the archives of the 1000mp reflector at
<http://www.qth.net/>.

>We now have a mod for the FT-1000MP: a small 70MHz I.F. amplifier. It boosts
>the front-end gain a few dB. The IF gain setting in menu item 9-1 is then
>reduced to compensate, and the radio's background hiss is greatly reduced.
>The byproduct is increased sensitivity of 2-4 DB in noise floor reduction.
>This is a plug-in, no-solder mod which can be easily removed.

>Anyone tried one of these?  Any other decent mods?
