[1000mp] FT-1000D Production 1990 or 2000?

Ask the owner which version software comes up on the screen when he does the 
Las Vegas initializing on the display which you do at time you turn on the 
rig with a couple of keys being held down. It is described in the manual.
If it is version 6, it is either new or updated. If it is other than version 
6, it definitely is a 1990 model.
Tried this several times and convinced the owner his unit was not as new as 
he claimed, but he wasn't the original owner either and had been snookered.
Good luck.
Best way to avoid the problem is to buy a 6-7-8 prefix serial number. Then 
you'll know at least the year it was built.
