[Yaesu] Re: +AFs-Yaesu+AF0- FT-1000D / Mk V ... Should I trade?

[James F. Boehner M.D.]

I spoke with a communications engineer with over 35 years experience about
the Yaesu and ICOM radios.

I have an FT-1000D, and I am very happy with it.  I have the 1900 Hz narrow
SSB filters from INRAD, and stock filters for everything else.

I asked this engineer about the FT-1000mp Mark V vs. the ICOM 756 Pro II,
and he chose the Pro II without reservation.  He chose the FT-1000D above
both of them, though.

BUT, if I had two 1000D's----I might be tempted to have the Mark V to play
with+ACE-

I am envious that you have two FT-1000D's.  My advice, after speaking with
several hams who have Marks, keep your FT-1000D.  Even Yaesu techs say that
the D is absolutely the BEST radio they've ever made.

+AHw- Hello gang...
+AHw-
+AHw-   Looking for some opinions.
+AHw-
+AHw-   A (Ham) friend of mine mentioned that he would like to trade his
+AHw- fairly new FT-1000MP Mark V for one (I have two) of my FT1000D+IBk-s.
+AHw-
+AHw-   I like my FT-1000D rigs (among other reasons) primarily because
+AHw- they are +IBw-all in one box+IB0-. The Mark V is three separate pieces,
+AHw- but it a more modern radio, of course.
+AHw-
+AHw-   I am kind of +IBw-on the fence+IB0- decision-wise.
+AHw-
+AHw-   What would you guys do???
+AHw-
+AHw-   TIA for the input+ICY-.
