[1000mp] In praise of a pre-VS Yaesu product

Sun, 12 May 2002 17:05:28 -0000

I've had my Quadra a year.  I use it with a Yaesu FT-1000mp, mostly on QSK
CW.  It works flawlessly.  The built-in antenna tuner is so good that I got
rid of my antenna tuner and now let the amp do the antenna tuning and
switching.  All bands 80 to 10 meters, 1000 watts output, and all
frequencies without switching or tuning any antenna.  You can't beat that
for convenience.

Would I buy another?  You bet!  But I'd rather have the next new one Yaesu
puts out!
