[1000mp] FT1000D question

[John Tait]

*I have a tuning upgrader on my FT1000D main dial. I am so pleased with 
it, that I have ordered another
for the FT1000D sub RX, and another for my FT990.
  
 I have had NO trouble with it's operation whatsoever. I don't have to 
crank the sub dial.

They may not be the fastest organisation around when it comes to 
answering emails, or
despatching orders, but I have no complaints so far. Their product has 
hugely improved my
FT1000D, so I don't mind waiting a bit extra.
  I have the impression that they're a "one man band". 
I'm very thankful that there are still enterprising people like INRAD 
and IRSD out there providing
very useful improvements for our rigs.
       I'll post again to the group if I have problems with my current 
order.
