[1000mp] sticking relay problem and W8JI mod.

[Tod Olson]

Hunter:

Please note that while people have muttered about the relay problem and the
W8JI mod, there seems to be no rush to get another radio. This decision to
"hold on" to the radio is a typical of those who have used the FT1000,
FT1000D, FT1000MP, FT1000MV and FT1000-Field. Maybe it is similar to Boston
Red Sox fans or the fans in Chicago --- no matter what happens you stay with
the team.

I really think it is because the radio is very "satisfactory". You probably
should not 'dump' your radio until you decide the new Orion and you were
MFEO (made for each other) after using it a bit. You might end up wishing
you had your old radio once again.
