[1000mp] Comparison Mark V and ProII

Thu, 21 Mar 2002 16:39:40 -0600

Hi Hans

Yes I kind of thought thats what you ment.

I wonder if you have explored the menu setup of the filtering.  It is 
a bit confusing at first but for me I am able to setup the 
combinations of filtering to sute all my needs and have only three 
buttons to push, hi.  Sort of like the Icom 775 filter selection, 
which by the way when I had the 775 I was really confused until I 
took time and figured out what the heck was going on then it made 
sense.

Regards from cold Minnesota
