I only have two complaints with my FT-1000MP:
1) The backlit display is not dark enough to hide unused functions,
regardless of the display intensity setting. Keeping it in the dim
setting seems to help a bit.
2) The manual I.F. notch filter's notch depth changes *considerably* as
the unit warms up. Chip Margelli confirmed this, and to date I do not
believe Yaesu has addressed a fix for it. Fortunately, there is a
single small hole on the bottom left front cabinet to allow for
adjusting the notch depth. However, it's having to stick a screwdriver
in the rig every 30 minutes or so is not my idea of fun. In this
regard, I believe the FT-1000D's notch filter is superior. Anyone else
notice this effect?
