I believe those who buy the FT-5000 because of its Sub RX will be
disappointed...as I was with Orion's.  The FT-5000 design is basically an
Orion clone and will suffer the same Sub RX problems:

1.  True diversity will not be possible due to slightly different
frequencies between Main and Sub.
2.  Strong-signal handling of the Sub will be very poor.

Time will tell but that's my prediction as an ex-Orion owner for 4 years.
