Kevin,

Execellent decision.  And if you ever do sell one of those babies, let me
know.  I still miss mine.

Hi Gang-

  Wow+ICY- I received a lot of excellent responses to this thread.

  By far, most responses were similar to this one:
   +IBw-I wouldn't trade at all. I have had the MP, the Mark V and the 1000D.
Got rid of all of them except the D and then recently sold it to a nice guy.
Wish I had kept it. The 1000D is head and shoulders above the others.
Frankly, I think my FT-990 is better than the MP's.+IB0-

  Another good suggestion was to trade rigs for a week to try it,
but I would just be teasing the poor guy+ADs-  I would probably want my +IBg-D
back, and I know he would want to keep it+ACE-

  Well, here goes- I am going KEEP both of my D+IBk-s, and if a MK V
crosses my path, at an irresistable price, maybe it will get
added to my brag list  :+AF4-)

  There were too many to respond individually, but many thanks
to all who confirmed reasons for me to resist the trade+ACE-

Thanks again to all+ICY-

+AD4-   Looking for some opinions.
+AD4-
+AD4-   A (Ham) friend of mine mentioned that he would like to trade his
+AD4- fairly new FT-1000MP Mark V for one (I have two) of my FT1000D+IBk-s.
+AD4-
+AD4-   I like my FT-1000D rigs (among other reasons) primarily because
+AD4- they are +IBw-all in one box+IB0-. The Mark V is three separate pieces,
+AD4- but it a more modern radio, of course.
+AD4-
+AD4-   I am kind of +IBw-on the fence+IB0- decision-wise.
+AD4-
+AD4-   What would you guys do???
+AD4-
+AD4-   TIA for the input+ICY-.
