[1000mp] Comparison Mark V

[1000mp@mailman.qth.net]

Thats correct but not that bad just push fast and nb button at the 
same time and you're in the menu for nb then adjust A1-15 or B1-15 
(wide or narrow)  I've found one setting pretty much covers all 
noises around here, simple setup, and I feel its as good as the MP or 
the FT1000 (I've had two FT1000's too) or maybe even a bit better.

As long as I'm on this subject, other things I like about the MKv 
better are the display, its not a bunch of unlit digits like in the 
MP its now very nice.  I like the separate shift and width controls 
better than in the MP, shift and width seem to be even more effective 
in the MKV, in fact I wonder why anyone would really need optional 
filters at all, let the shift and width do its job.  I like the cool 
quiet 200 watts in the MKV better than the 100 watts in the MP which 
when transmitting for a extended time the internal fan/blower in the 
MP seemed to be louder than the MKV.   I like the larger tuning knob 
on the MKV, I can spin it, on the MP I could not.  I also like the 
VRF feature, which the MP did not have.  Of course I cannot leave out 
the class A operation which if you are driving a linear the 
transmitter is about 20 db cleaner.  I've also heard the cabinit was 
hard to remove on the MKV but I in fact found it only a little bit 
more troublesome to remove, I think it took me about 3 minutes.

Yes, I think Yaesu has a fine radio in the MKV, improved upon the MP 
while keeping many of the MP's features too.  I liked the MP but I 
like the MKv better now that I've had a few days to get used to the 
changes.

Changes get tougher as I get older but somehow I manage....hi.
