[1000mp] FT1000MP and FL7000

[w4ZW]

I used this set-up for several years while living in Europe.  Worked great
and was transparent with instant band switching.   Only drawback was the
necessity to have a very good SWR.  Otherwise, the FL-7000 struggles around
finding the correct match. Not a problem if you use the same antennas on
each band since it "remembers" the settings for each band,  but if you
switch antennas on the same band, the SWR's must be close or the amp goes
"hunting" for a match.
