also i noticed very few of these on the used market.umlike the 7800 icom.990 kenwood.the only icom my ears can stand is the 756pro 111 and i bought it new in the box before they discontinued it for 2800.alot of people tell me a 7300 for half that is better than the 756 or the yaesu 9000.i think thats only because its a great buy for the money.i dont like the audio of the 7300 at all.i must be a little old fashion.i had 1 chance for 1 big box rig thats gotta last me cuz im broke.but the 1000mark v is the backup.the 756pro 111 is for expeditions and the ts 2000 and 8 other kenwoods are for cheap pieces of the solid state nostagia.im not old enough to want tube rigs im 49.thanks.73
im glad i found this.i bought a pristine like brand new contest version i bought for 4500.it was listed as 2nd rx dmu all the optional filter units pep upgrades.the box says contest but not on the radio i was wondering what had bought.wheew.its an ausome radio for me just starting out.he included all reciets totaling over 11k .so did they come withthe extra rx or do they add it? also being a bit older why does it seem the ft5000mpl seem to get better reviews at half the price? i just fell in love with the looks.the rx .i tried icom 7800 kenwood 990 and niether sounded as good to me as this rig.i have many kenwoods but the 850sat is the best sounding to my ears.better than any icom.they all hurt my ears and .the 9000 is the only radio that came close to my 1000 markv.and i havent even tx yet.hope to catch u on the bands soon.
This has a 400-watt final? OMG! Wish I'd bought one! My uncle had an L4B back in the '70s.
