[1000mp] MK V vs MP

[NORM FUSARO]

Hi Folks.
I was at ARRL Tuesday and operated W1AW.  I used the MK V.  It seemed to =
be a nice rig and the filter selection that I have on my MP is something =
that I would miss on the MK V.  However, I noticed that they had the =
Yaesu mic ( the fancy one) on a boom and they had set the mic gain to =
almost 4 o'clock.  Is this a normal setting?  I have the Goldline and my =
mic gain is set to about 10 o'clock.  I set mine up using another =
receiver and I just checked the MK V at ARRL using the ALC meter.  No =
complaints from the many QSO's but just curious.  I did like the larger =
knobs on shift, width, notch etc. and not having the little knob for =
contour.  If you are running barefoot the 200 watts is nice to have but =
as I always said, most everyone has an amp.  Even a modest amp can be =
had for little $$.
All in all I will keep my MP.
