This coming from someone who has attic dipoles and operates QRP.....one other point I wanted to bring to light is the fact that the rig has good IMD as well as sharp filtering (more so if operating CW) I did have the FT-1000MKV it was a great rig I had no complaints about it. My rig of recommendations and for you also to consider is the Elecraft K3.VE9KK https://www.blogger.com/profile/04720839744779758420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5430047716281969307.post-45000486925880373112011-05-24T12:14:01.086-07:002011-05-24T12:14:01.086-07:00Hi Lisa, I really don't understand were some H...Hi Lisa, I really don't understand were some HAMs get the money to buy such expensive radio equipment. I'm shure with my old (1998) Icom IC706 MK2 I can transmit the same distance as the most expensive radio you can get, so I guess it must be the receiver. What I really don't understand is that some amateurs have a IC7800 or a FT1000 and use it with a crap low and short wire antenna, what is the use then? 73, BasPE4BAS, Bashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12958141238330445285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5430047716281969307.post-17728564404606739742011-05-24T06:07:40.491-07:002011-05-24T06:07:40.491-07:00Hi Lisa, someone has beaten me to it, oh and the ...Hi Lisa, someone has beaten me to it, oh and the operator, you need good ears !<br /><br />73 Paul.Paul M0PCZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15826957754325181436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5430047716281969307.post-56580347612234148432011-05-24T05:58:35.852-07:002011-05-24T05:58:35.852-07:00at the end of the day it's the antenna not the...at the end of the day it's the antenna not the rig that counts , but lot of ppl seem to ignore thisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
