[1000mp] FT 9000 DX Brochure (NOT FT-2000)

[Joe Subich, K4IK]

I rather doubt there will be a decrease in value: 

Also at Dayton, INRAD have introduced a narrow roofing filter 
for the FT-1000MP, MKV & Field.  Filter is 4 KHz wide and 
provides the following IMD specs:  

            Signal spacing      Dynamic Range 
                 10 KHz            107   dB 
                  5 KHz            100.5 dB
                  3 KHz             97.5 dB 

This compares to IMD numbers previously in the 75-80 dB range 
for signal spacing less than ca. 20 KHz.  

$165 list price for the roofing filter ... I suspect many may 
opt for it rather than spend $13K for a FTdx-9000!
