DOA? at k1oa@mediaone.net?
Both are excellent rigs. I opted to keep my FT1000-MP. My criteria included
those you mentioned, plus many more. The FT-1000MP has been running
flawlessly for almost 3 years. BTW, QRQ QSK to 100 WPM with excellent keying
reports.

I've been happily using an FT-990 for the past 8 years and am
considering an upgrade, possibly an MP. My primary interest is DXing,
but the contest bug has bitten, so I'm looking for a radio that
satisfies both avocations.
The features I'm most interested in are:
1. quiet receiver, in conjuction with DSP, giving the ability to
pull out the weak ones under all kinds of conditions
2. smooth QSK with clean CW keying
3. reliability
The other radio under consideration is the Omni VI+. I've read
both product reviews and combed back through 3 years of list
archives looking for opinions. If my 3 concerns are
equally met by the 2 rigs, I'd probably go with the MP given the
sub-receiver and the 8 years of flawless service I've gotten from my
990.
So, if you've got an opinion I'd love to hear it! I'll supply
a summary of responses to anyone interested.
73,
Scott
