[Yaesu] FT1000MP and Satelite Work

[Jon Ogden]

I'd agree.  The MP might be fine for terrestrial work, but you can't beat
the 847 for satellite.  It helps to have tracking VFOs, etc.  You really
don't need all the MPs bells and whistles.  The receiver of the 847 is more
than adequate for the task.
