well, I have been looking for info on what yaesu was going to do with their big HF rigs. The 9000 and 5000 have not been advertized for a while and the 5000MP's have been on sale lately. Lo and Behold today I got the new catalog from DX Engineering and they are showing FTDX-5000MPL and FTDX-9000MP and 9000D as new models. I sure am going to be interested in what upgrades they did these units! GL in CW WPX this week end, 73's Cort K4WI
