What are these “subtle improvements” they’re talking about? I can’t find any references anywhere to differences between the display systems on the 101D and 101MP.
I have not yet gotten my DEC 2020 print QST issue yet and rarely read the Digital issue as it is inconvenient holding/reading my iPad while sitting on the Outhouse hole.

I did read the QST 101D review last year before I bought my 101MP and of course took a peek at Sherwood.
I am not aware of any display differences between the 2 radios. There are 2 reasons I bought a MP model instead of of a 101D. The 200 watts and 101MP external Power supply, and the 300hz roof filter builtin to the MP model. There are several other differences between the 2 models, none of which really interested me. Also for resale reasons if I was disappointed, the MP model would be more desirable to resale.
I would interested in knowing how the 101MP display would be different/better than a 101D display.
However knowing you Jerry, if you buy a 101, it will be the MP model.
So how was the QST MP review? Thumbs up or down? Stupid question, ARRL never overtly bashes any review radio.
