[1000mp] Click mod IF question

[4x1ad]

The 9K serie will certainly be a good line of rigs. But the look is little 
bit strange and not entirely on my personal taste. Of course, the receiver 
performance is the most important thing, but at this price tag, one can ask 
for a more modern and ergonomic appearance.  The red LCDs, the meters and 
the unbalance between very large knobs and very small knobs, it's not 
exactly my ideea about industrial design and MMI.
But let's see before if the RX is better than Orion and 7800. I hope that 
Yaesu has enough time to learn from all the Ten Tec and ICOM mistakes.
