[1000mp] FT1000D question

[Pete Smith]

These guys should not/not be confused with Inrad, the crystal filter (mainly) people.  W2VJN, proprietor of INRAD, is good people and the customer service is exemplary.  I think it is pretty unethical for IRSD to use a name that so promotes confusion, particularly since George bought INRAD's business and the name from the Florida owners many years ago.
