Yes I know all of this about the FT-1000, this was
NOT the question.

I have never heard that the NB in the 2000 is problematic.
Maybe it is maybe it isn´t, I just like to find out.

It seems you just assume it´s problematic since it uses
as you say the same circuit as in the 1000. Since you
did bring it up, is this the case or do you know something
else?
