[Premium-Rx] Classless MP1000?

[hlritter at mindspring.com]

Dang! I have both those rigs, and all this time I really thought the 1000MP had class. Solid construction, not a bit tinny, elegant and understated styling, fun to use, what's not to like? (In addition to its performance, of course!)

Well, I think all of this discussion boils down to a very simple fact, and it is one which no lab instrument can measure, yet we all aspire to own--CLASS.
A lot of prems have it,
a lot of rice boxes don't.
And to have class, it doesn't necessarily have to have the best performance, nor be the most reliable.
It is something you know you have in a radio or you know is not there. I have a Yaesu 1000mp, which is in most ways a  better radio than my 6790. But the Racal has CLASS, the Yaesu does not. You can guess which one I use most.
