[1000mp] FT1000D

Thu, 28 Feb 2002 20:05:52 -0700

Danny,

I've had an FT1000D continuously since 1990.  I replaced my original in 1999
for a new one.  Bought a Mk V about 6 months after they hit the market.  I
was able to A/B the radios.  The D receiver is a bit quieter than the Mk
V--no hiss issues or Inrad mod required--but the receivers are very close.
The D controls are very straight forward--there are no menus.  The Mk V has
more flexibility particularly regarding CW because of the DSP plus you can
customize the operation of the radio to you via menus for contests regarding
tuning alternatives, offsets etc.

I had decided to sell one or the other--I didn't need two as I have also
have quite a few Drake and Collins stations going.  My operating is
principally DXing and contesting.  I only use the boatanchors for an
occational ragchew with a fellow boatanchor guy.  I had a very tough time
deciding which radio to sell--they both have advantages and disadvantages.
I sold the D when a fellow came along and was willing to pay me $400 less
than I paid for it over 2 years ago. I could have just as easily sold the Mk
V.   I would have liked to have kept them both.  You can't go wrong with
either.
