I get great audio reports on this rig. Works so well I have two. it is straight forward to use without menus. This straddles the old with the new. The 200 watts often punches through some pile ups. The receive section is bar none the best receiver I have ever owned.

I own two FT-1000MPs and have used them for general operating and contesting for many years. The MP is a world-class dx and contest grade transceiver with a separate sub-receiver and many filter options as well as DSP. The sub-receiver is a feature that is especially useful for split operation and I can't imagine buying another transceiver without it. I use several new high-end transceivers (K3, FTDX5000, ec) at contest stations and can say that the MP holds its own with them under crowded conditions. A 1st IF roofing filter and many IF bandpass filters are readily available and enhance the performance to an even higher level.

I recently purchased the Yaesu FT 1000 transceiver as I had one many years ago which I unfortunately sold to buy other toys only to realize my other Kenwood and Icom transceivers didn't compare in performance. The FT 1000 has nearly 200 watts out on all bands and an IF output that I was able to use with my panadapter. It offers great sensitivity and selectivity and is built like a tank with a quality feeling throughout the controls and internal circuits. Excellent radio.
This, the granddaddy of the FT-1000 line of Yaesu line of HF transceivers, is an absolute pleasure to use. The careful thought that went into the design of this radio is obvious. I have many radios in my collection, but this one's a definite keeper! The lack of menus makes operation ultra-simple. And the adage is true with this radio..."If you can hear them, you can work them!" Grab one of these if you get the opportunity!
He was VERY knowledgeable on the radio and would recommend him to anyone! He spent approx. 1/2 hour on the phone with me and we checked thing. Radio is not fixed yet, but his help has determined what will need In addition, he has helped a bit on troubleshooting!
