I was just looking at the International radio page and they have a mod for
the 1000MP.
We now have a mod for the FT-1000MP: a small 70MHz I.F. amplifier. It boosts
the front-end gain a few dB. The IF gain setting in menu item 9-1 is then
reduced to compensate, and the radio's background hiss is greatly reduced.
The byproduct is increased sensitivity of 2-4 DB in noise floor reduction.
This is a plug-in, no-solder mod which can be easily removed.
Anyone tried one of these? Any other decent mods?
