[Yaesu] Filter Questions on the FT-1000MP Mark-V?

[Sam_Stimson@Dell.com]

Thanks for asking this question Scott. I also have just purchased a bare
Mark V and have been looking at the filter options.

Anyone answering Scott, please copy me as well......

By the way, I love my Mark V. It has been a very big upgrade for me. My
first Yaesu was a 920.

Subject: [Yaesu] Filter Questions on the FT-1000MP Mark-V?



Hello,

I am new to this list and also a new owner of the FT-1000MP Mark-V.  I
bought the radio without any additional filters and I am looking for some
suggestions as to what to get for it.

I am considering INRAD filters over the optional Yaesu filters?  Does anyone
know of a reason not to do this?

I read somewhere that I might have problems with the IDBT feature if I don't
go with the Optional 2.0 Khz filter that Yaesu offers.  I don't believe that
INRAD carries a replacement for this filter although they do have a 1.8 Khz
and (I believe) a 2.1 Khz filter.  Is this really a problem and, if so, is
there a way to work around it?

On CW, I haven't seen anything that would indicate that I need to stay
within the Yaesu optional filter values.  INRAD offers a nice 125 Hz filter
for one of the IF's (but not both) and this might be a good one to go with.

Since I am asking about filters, can anyone point me to a document that
explains "simply" what all the various filtering options are with this radio
and how to configure them?  The manual doesn't seem to cover this topic very
well.

Thanks and 73,
Scott, W3YX
