[1000mp] New MARK-V

Hi Vidi,
At this time a fair comparison would be hard to make given that I have just
installed the INRAD filters in the MARK-V and have not had it on the air
yet.  At best I am a casual CW OP with inspirations of becoming a good
one....HI   In comparison with a friends MP who is a CW contester the MP
wins hands down every time as far as weak signal reception goes. The TS-2000
is a great rig but the receiver on the MP is a cut above the rest at this
time.  I'll let you know after I have time to learn the new MARK-V but for
now it's a keeper.
73,
Dennis AB8NI
