Topband: FT-2000 for serious TB DXing?

[Paul Kelley N1BUG]

I am trying to reach a decision as to what rig to get.

I would like to hear from any topband DXers who have used the 
FT-2000. I am interested in any comments on this rig, good or bad, 
but am especially interested in how well the receiver handles the 
challenge of digging out weak CW in a band full of strong signals, 
QRN, etc.

Please reply direct to me if you have used the FT-2000 or are 
interested in the responses to this question. Thanks!

BTW: After having two rig failures in recent weeks, I have not been 
around during this "off season" as promised. I will be back as soon 
as I make a decision and buy a new rig!
