[1000mp] RE: 1000mp Digest, Vol 24, Issue 10

Having made the swap of the original MP for the Mk V Field a few
years ago, the most noticeable change (my opinion) was the more  convenient
knob placement on the right side of the front panel.  The Field  was also 
quite capable of handling signals without the need for additional  filters 
under
"normal" conditions.  I have to be truthful though, I ended up with a 
746 PRO and the Field ended up in Hawaii and I never missed it.   I no
longer really enjoy "digging" out those faint DX signals amongst the  noise,
commotion, and intentional QRM as exhibited right now on the VU4
operation (g)  Like most every opinion, it all depends on what  you want
to do with the rig.  They are both good ones (key clicks aside) and  should
do everything that you would want them to do.  The Field just was  easier
for my big fingers in the "heat of the chase" (g)
