The 850 is a decent radio, reasonably clean. I ran a pair for a while 
and liked them. The FT1000 comes with clicks, and must be fixed, but was 
an improvement over the 850.  The MP and its family have one audio 
processing setting that can be made to sound great (and clean), but all 
the other settings sound awful and are dirty. The W8JI website has good 
info on fixing the clicks. K6XX and I managed to coexist pretty well 
both running MPs, but we were happy to replace them with K3s. Bob later 
went to work for Elecraft as an EE.
