[1000mp] Questions About FT-1000MP MkV

[WX5L]

Hello Brad,

Thanks for the reply.

Please explain the basic set-up of the Main vfo and the sub-vfo.
I would think in the main vfo you can put the 250hz cw filters in the 455
khz and 8.2 mhz IF and also the 1.8's in both SSB if's.

What about the sub-vfo? Are there seperate positions for filters for the
sub-vfo like the main, meaning can you set up the sub-vfo like the main?

Thanks,
Randy
