[1000mp] preference question

[Bill Gode, Sr.]

Don't forget the second receiver in the FT-1000D, which is completely
independent of the main receiver, right down to the antenna connector and
bandpass filters.  Dual receive on 160 and 10 meters?  No problem.

I installed the International Radio (not to be confused with INRAD)
Slow-Tuning mod in my FT-1000D and it was a big improvement with 2.5, 10 and
25 kHz per revolution,depending on how fast the knob is turned.

I really like my MP, but I like my D even more.

73,

Bill, W9NHQ
