[Yaesu] Some Yaesu FT1000MP MK5 questions

[Cecil Acuff]

Is this the 200w model with the external power supply?

If so there have been reported issues with failure of the power supply parts.

Other than that I know of no problems. I had one and it was a good radio. Went back to the FT-1000D...I like the simplicity and it hears just as well.
