[1000mp] Re: [Yaesu] Re: [Yaesu_FT-1000MP] FT-1000MP Mark-V/Field and FT-847 to be discontinued

[Rob Atkinson]

Seems to me that if they quit servicing the 1000MP series, that would 
put a damper on sales of the 2000.   might open up a whole new business 
opportunity for someone else too.   BTW, I hope they keep servicing 
them not only 5 years from now but 10 or 15.
