[1000mp] New INRAD roofing filter kit for FT1000MP

[Joe Subich, K4IK]

It is not available for the FT-1000D at this time.  When I talked 
with George at Dayton he indicated that there had been a good level 
of interest in a version for the 1000D and he was considering it. 

The FT-1000MP/MKV roofing filter came with a note asking for 
user feedback (actual in use reports): 

   International Radio Corp requests fedback from you on the 
   operation of this first run of roofin filter mods for the 
   FT-1000MP series radios.

   Do you notice any improvement in your radio's operation? 
   Is there a reduction is close by intermodulation? 
   Do you notice any difference in noise blanker operation?

   We are not certain that the level of dynamic range 
   improvement will actually be noticed by the operator and 
   want to decide whether to continue with this modification 
   for another production run.  

   Please send an email describing your experiences to 
   inrad at rosenet.net 

I hope users will also post their experiences on the reflectors 
that deal with receiver performance: mailto:topband at contesting.com 
mailto:cq-contest at contesting.com and mailto:yaesu at contesting.com.

73,
