[Yaesu] A FT-1000MP warning

[Artmouton]

Which seems to be more and more of a help in the decision to go SDR next 
time.
I am trying to figure out a replacement for a well used FT-1.
Everything seems expensive and short lived.
The SDR looks like a good option.  The black box portion remains the same 
and all of the upgrades are in software and upgraded computers.
Anyone else thinking of this as an option?
