[1000mp] preference question

[D. J.]

Only with the "D" would you have the extra band pass filter for the 
second receiver, otherwise if memory serves me right it was a $150 
option for the standard FT-1000 which is what I had twice.  As for the 
tuner upgrade it worked and reduced as you say to 2.5 Khz per dial rev 
I don't remember the cost, $75 maybe?

I'll still stick with my MKV.
