Yaesu | Ft 1000mp
Today, nearly two decades after production ceased, the FT-1000MP remains a sought-after item on the used market. Its longevity is a testament to the "golden age" of Japanese engineering. While modern radios from Icom, Kenwood, and Yaesu now utilize software-defined radio (SDR) technology and touchscreens, they often lack the direct, organic connection between operator and circuitry that the MP provided. Restoring an FT-1000MP has become a popular project for hobbyists, involving the replacement of electrolytic capacitors and the installation of Inrad (International Radio) roofing filters to further enhance performance.
