[1000mp] Pro III -- FT1000MP comparison

[Jan Erik Holm]

That fix isn´t a perfect deal. Yes it makes the click situation
much better but the fact is that the radio still clicks.
There are thousands of MP´s out there that never will see this
fix, they daily mess up the CW bands with keyclicks. Also
the IMD performance of the TX is not impressive at all.
Atleast the 756PRO3 can be made to produce good CW and this
TX phase noise deal I have never heard about before.
I must say it´s quite insulting of you to accuse me for doing
Yaesu bashing! So be it, I will leave the subject, seems
quite useless to carry on.
