[1000mp] Changing the VOX brk-in time for semi/VOX brk-in on Mark V???

Wed, 10 Sep 2003 07:25:53 -0500

Agree thatt he 89 is silent.and very smooth.

I have the 99 and run it with a Ft-1000mp Mark 5  but do not find it totally
objectionable due to the cost of the finals to replace if something happens.

Also have a  89 but not used for quite some time - so will dust it off maybe
this week and give it a try with a regular Ft-1000mp setting on the bench
