At K1IR, we have quite a few radios in play for our multi-single operations. We 
find that the performance in the low-band environment of the 781, 765 and Orion 
is better than what we get from our 1000MPs. But, our ops all really love the 
human factors design of the MP and its performance on the high bands seems 
quite good. We are going to give the W2VJN roofing filter a try in the MPs to 
see if that helps on the low bands. If it does, I would be very comfortable 
recommending the modified MP as a $1000-range option to seriously consider.
