[1000mp] [Fwd: FT1000MP Rec terminal]

[gmguerin at voyager.net]

Hi All,

One important item.  The internal protection in most transceivers is not
adequate.   I always use an external FES with my 1000MP and previously
with Icom 751a.  I have a good 160 meter friend who damaged a IC765 by
assuming the internal protection was adequate.   So use a FES and be safe.

 Gary, when using your product I noticed an amp keying input. Since I use
