[1000mp] The 100-pound gorilla

[D. J.]

Can you imagine having a problem and shipping the sucker back to Y for 
repairs only to get it back in the shack and not fixed or something 
else bad.  Thanks but no thanks.  I'll stick with my light weight MKV 
and Inrad roofing filter, besides I'll bet hard cash the receiver 
performance won't be enough to mention, if any.  Latest example the 
Icom Pro III, see Mar. QST.  BDR is pitiful.
