[1000mp] FT-1000MP

[Robert Herndon]

I am not that familiar with the 950, but one of the best things about all of 
the 1000mp series radios is the true dual receive.  There is nothing like it 
when it comes to working dx which is operating split. If the 950 has that 
capability then I guess it would compare favorably.    Bob   W7XN

Thanks Dave
I'm looking at a new rig at a used rig price. I can get 950 on gigaparts for 
about 1250.00 shipped. Got to seriously consider this. Dont like not having 
any power control on front panel but from reading I can use the C S button 
to use this function easy. Do you agree
Thanks KE4AIF
