[1000mp] New MARK-V

[1000mp@mailman.qth.net]

Hello Vidi,

My personal opinion is that the Mark V is much better then the "all-round"
rig TS-2000. Especially from the receiver side.

Very good Kenwood rigs for CW were (still are) TS-950SDX, TS-870 and TS-850.

I use my Mark V for the last two years for CW and still am very very
satisfied! Next to the FT-1000D (for SSB) and the 756ProII (for digital
modes and for Six).
