This is off topic but if anyone has a good working knowledge of the FT-1000D, please contact me directly. I have both manuals but they have little technical description of the circuitry. It is exhibiting low sensitivity from 20 meters and up - about 15 dB down according to my signal generator. Thanks in advance. Jim, K1PX K1PX at msn.com<mailto:K1PX at msn.com>
