[1000mp] possible 1000MP upgrade - FT-2000? NO!

[John Tait]

I would disagree.. I have a 1000D and an MP side by side with an FT2000. My
MP is for sale.. The 2000 is now my main rig, with the 1000D as second
string. Both the MP and 1000D have the W8JI mods, INRAD I/Fs, and roofing
filters. Great rigs, but I find the 2000 best of the three.
