[TenTec] Radio Control/Contesting??

[Ken]

The FT-1000D is the casual listening vintage rig in my shack. I use it to 
check band condx. Easy to turn on (1 switch & no external p/s) and to spin 
the dial for general coverage. It's not the most pleasant rig to listen to 
for long periods on CW or in QRM. In contest condx it takes me two seconds 
to have enough of my roofing filter modified FT-1000D (125 Hz IF) and switch 
to the Orion II.

Merry Christmas!

Ken, KA0W
