[Yaesu] Yaesu Info regarding FTDX-9000

[RLVZ@aol.com]

Hi Jim,

The exact same thing happened to me.  I've been waiting weeks and still no 
info.  Now I noticed that in the March QST Yaesu is back to advertising the 
FT-1000-Field and dropped the FT-9000 ad.  When I keep calling Dealers month after 
month they say that Yaesu is "still waiting for FCC approval on the FT-9000 
before they can market it".

I saw the FT-9000 up close recently at a local hamfest.  It's a really neat 
radio but in my opinion there is absolutely No way the radio is worth the 
$9,000 to $10,000 they are asking!  (a more realistic list price worth be $4,000 
for the 200 watt unit and $4,500 for the 400 watt unit)  So I went ahead and 
installed roofing filters in my 1000-MP's.
