[1000mp] Question about FT-2000

[Jan Erik Holm]

It´s the same thing they offer for the FT-9000, it´s
called uP high Q tuning unit (or something like that).
It´s a front end filter for the receiver to make IMD
dynamic range better. However we don´t know at this
stage how much needed that gizmo would be. IMO the RX
looks like it would have very good performance without
those MTU units (I remember now they call them MTU).
