HI Guys

 Well I went and Bought the FT-1000 MP. Plus he gave me a SP-8 Filtered Speaker. Heil Boom and Heil Mic cord ( he kept the Mic). I did get the stock hand mic.
I am very pleased and looks like i better keep the manual handi. 
So Thanks for all the feed back, He helps to have someone around to ask questions of or too
Thanks George
