[Yaesu] Yaesu Digest, Vol 42, Issue 5

[Cecil Acuff]

Agreed on all points.....my only complaint about the D is the tuning rate is 
too fast and I have a modification kit for both VFO's on the way to correct 
that.  One nice feature of the MP and Mark V is the ability to program from 
the front panel the tuning step sizes the knob generates....

Cecil...
