[1000mp] Comparison Mark V and ProII

"The flexible filtering options were one of the big selling points in the original MP and then they done away with that in their next iteration of the radio.  I fail to see the logic!!  As this radio is primarily aimed at contesters and DXers, maybe it's time Yaesu/Vertex started talking to
said audience to see what they like and dislike about current radios before they change them.  I honestly don't believe that a survey of contesters and DXers would have told them to remove this feature."

Maybe you misunderstood my reply. I could not agree with you more about the flexibility or the need for more input from power operators. My only point is that in my operating habits, I do not feel that this missing feature is worth MY not keeping and using a rig that has most of the features and performance I that want. This is simply an IMHO situation. I really enjoy using this rig. I have nothing negative to say about the MP. I have owned three MP's and liked them all! I bought one from the first production lot imported into the US through AES, and never had a problem with it. They are beautiful rigs. 

I was just answering a direct question asked of me by you.
