[1000mp] Early FT-1000MP Serial Numbers / History ?

[Hans Remeeus]

Hello Jeff,

http://www.va3cr.net/main/serial.html says:

5 = 1995
F = April
01 = Lot number 01
00xx = Unit number within the lot

There should be a lot number 00. According to the message on the site of 
VA3CR Lot number 00 seems to go to the Japanese market only. And often Lot 
numbers 01 and 02 too.

Your 0100xx could be one of the very first sold outside Japan.
