[CQ-Contest] FT-1000MP front-end diode mod

[Richard Cariello]

Tony,
YES, In all three of our MP's.
I have no testing equipment to chart the improvement in the MP's. Running 
MP's side by side the mod radio clearly hears much better. Big improvment 
over the stock MP's well worth the money spent. I know of the mod as the PIN 
DIODE MOD both Front and Rear.
