[1000mp] FT-1000MP back ground hiss. CW Cap Mod--LONG!

Bob and Steve:

Frankly, I am unsure if it occurs in mine. But, in my experience, Tom does
not "jabber"---his inputs are always of interest, and usually backed up with
hard measurement data or specific circuit design critiques. These carry more
weight with me than anecdotal offerings. I am an analog guy myself, and have
always been impressed by Tom's insights and thoroughness. That does not mean
he is always right, but his comments are always worth reading and pondering.

As they say, YMMV.
