[1000mp] 1000mp mk V and W2IHY

[Rob Atkinson]

Okay Tom, that's great.  Don't understand what you mean about rx 
changes affecting tx, unless they affect the monitor.  but see Roscoe's 
subsequent post about that (thanks Roscoe).
I can't help you with the IHY  setup because I don't use one off those 
or the EQplus,  and don't chase dx.  sorry.  The goldline mic is 
probably fine though.
