[1000mp] Full Dual Multi Band Receive Mod for FT-1000MP -AnyInterest Anyone?

[Yo3ctk]

Interested as well, I have two contest units, a MP and a MkV Field. Still 
not sure what kind of help is expected; I for one will be interested to 
purchase the mod but it will be difficult to participate in the development 
phase.
