Jerry, That's a shame to bury that rig. My 1000MP went out last year and I sent it to Technical Specialists in Tampa where Lee does circuit board level repairs. Might want to send it to him if it

Been considering a new (or new to me) rig since the FT-1000MP bit the dust after a bunch of years; although it was repaired and seems to be working okay there is a little doubt in the back of my mind

There are many sites which have little or no history. My local club started by myself and 2 others goes back to 1978, but our "Club Historian" died and everything he had was lost. No one else
