[CQ-Contest] ICOM 775 vs ICOM 756 PRO 2 vs YAESU FT 1000 MP5

[Barry]

Another option, which I use:
One FT-1000D and one FT-990. A used FT-990 can be had for under 
$1K. It is basically the same radio as the 1000D, with an almost 
identical layout. It doesn't have a second receiver, which is really 
unnecessary in SO2R (unless you like listening to 4 receivers during a 
contest!)
