Just another rig but with a built in light show an Time Owned: unknown months.
Receive capability was typical for today's receivers. The IF seemed noisey and copying cw through QRN was difficult. The DSP lacks versatility with it's fixed positions. An outboard DSP such as the MFJ is much more effective. Like most imports, it's impossible for the average ham to service. CW keying is quite good and QSK fairly smooth although not very fast. The internal keyer worked great. Sidetone quality was poor but cw-monitor feature was helpful for monitoring one's keying and easier on the ears than the sidetone. Filters are overpriced and the Collins mechanical filter was no more effective than the Yaesu. Headphone volume was rather weak.

Great rig! Time Owned: unknown months.
After 30 years of ham radio I found the right transceiver. No doubt a great rig...

Work DX you n e v e r heard before!! Time Owned: unknown months.
I and OE5T used the simple FT-900AT for contesting etc. Last year the FT-1000MP was bought. Since this time I am able - despite of the citynoise up to 59!! - to work DX on 160m with a simple dipole, which is also used to RX. The 10m-performance must be heard - great sensitivity.

I recommend this radio very highly. Time Owned: unknown months.
Very fine radio with features too numerous to mention. Recommend the Inrad front end modification for increased sensitivity.

Best all around radio I have used. Time Owned: unknown months.
Great radio. Great features. The Omni-6 is probably a little better on CW, but overall this radio is the best.
