Hi,

In order to complete my last page devoted to a review of the Yaesu FT-1000MP
Mark-V available next week on my website
http://www.astrosurf.com/lombry/menu-qsl.htm
I would like to know the opinion of users in a few words.

If you used this Mark-V for more than one year, I would like that you draw
me the main positive and negative points of this model in afew words.
Personnaly I think to the next points, but they are probably 5 to 10 more :

+ : 200W, 3 IF stages, many direct access options, many excellent
anti-interference tools, efficient and powerful DSP at IF stages, optional
Collins mechanical filters, custom multi-function bar graphs, many lights
and warning on display and control panel, quick access to memories, double
VFO, DSP speaker
- : bulky, outmoded design, outmoded fluorescent digital display (instead of
LCD), Menu access to revise, complex Menuing with neither scrolling nor
full text, RIT/SPLIT renamed CLAR/VFO RX-TX, external PSU, no bandscope, too
complex reset procedures, etc

Your appreciation is welcome.

As I am sure you know, it has key clicks on CW without one of the
popular mods. Lots of features, though..

Do yourself a favor and find a USED FT1000D, not the MP or any of the other
variations. The best of the best of the bunch is the 1000D.

The price requested if probably not cheap yet...
NB. In Europe the argus rate this model at 1940 euros and decreasing.
