[Gian Luca Cazzola]

> It is very interesting. Anyway after taking note of the crazy price I 
> decided to install in my 1998 FT1000MP the Inrad roof filter and I think 
> I have very well solved my radio problems for next five years.
> Also I think that for a two radio stations the best buy today are two 
> FT1000MP Field + two Inrad roof filters:
> total cost less than 4.000$ vs. 11.000$ for an FTDX-9000, and about 7.000$ 
> remain in your hands.
> I really think that an 11.000 -13.000$ price would be justified only for 
> little series mil-standard rigs and not for a top notch amateur radio rig.
