[1000mp] FT1000D question

[Harold Mandel]

Comments about the Tuning Mod:

#1 - International Radio Service Division will drive anyone
        absolutely bonkers with their turnaround time if you have
        them do any work. There is no calling them, no e-mailing,
        no faxes: Simply No Contact. Months later the radio shows
        up or not. There are numerous comments on QTH.COM
        about this business. Caveat Emptor.

#2 -  The tuning mod installed in the FT-1000d has a peculiarity
         that when the radio is energized, the sub receiver dial needs
         to be cranked a bit before the main receiver dial adjusts the 
         VFO. Very disconcerting.

#3 -  The tuning modification does work as they say, once installed.
