[Yaesu] what radio ?

[John Abbruscato]

Keith,
 
I have the FT1000MP MKV Field (with INRAD Roofing Filter, and Yeasu Narrow SSB Filter) at home (W5JON), and use the IC756 PROIII when I operate in Belize (V31FB).  Although not side by side, here are my comments:
 
1. For contest operating when "splits" are required the MKV wins easily. Changing a "split" on a PROIII is a pain.  When in Belize, I can set a "split" and leave it so the PROIII is fine, in the US it is a pain. 
 
2. The NB on the MKV is much better then on the PROIII.
 
3. When using the DSP on the PROIII there is noteable receiver audio quality change, that I do not hear on the MKV. The DSP selection options on the MKV are far greater then that of the PROIII.

4. I do not notice any difference "by ear" in the selectivity or sensitivity between the two, they are both great radios.
 
5. The MKV is just to big and heavy for traveling, while the PROIII is easy to pack in a "roll on" suitcase.
 
 
So I guess the bottom line is, if had to have only one radio to use for both contesting and casual operating, "AT HOME" it would be the MKV ...... however the Inrad Roofing Filter is a MUST.

Hi All
Is there anyone that own or compared side by side a 1000MP MKV and a
756proIII ???
I'm looking for a serious and objective review on these radios comparision
as help on which one to buy.
I mainly work SSB DX and contests and i'm also a happy owner of a 1000D.
Thank you.
