[Yaesu] FT1000D

[Cecil Acuff]

I agree...

I have the D and an MP.  Unless there have been quantum leaps in performance 
improvements made in the Mark V version I don't find it to be any better. 
Got lots more gadgetry to play with but none of that has made it able to 
hear anything I can't also hear on the D and I personally think the D has 
more pleasing audio.  I'm also using it with the timewave DSP built into the 
Yaesu speaker.

The D has held it's value much better than the later models as well...

Just my 2 cents worth...
