[DX-CHAT] Size of Yaesu FT-1000 MP ??
I have the FT-1000 MP, but right now it is at a vacation location. I am trying to fine a suitable box or case to transport it in, and I don't even have my manual to see the specs. If anyone here has this rig, I would appreciate it very much if you would measure it for H/ W/ D so that I could find a suitable box in which to transport it back and forth. Also, if anyone has any good ideas of what box, suitcase, or other carrier (as small as possible) that the FT-1000 would fit in, I would appreciate it very much. Thanks !!! 73 de Jim K4PYT
[DX-CHAT] GD4UOL or G4UOL email address?
Does anyone have a good email address for Steve, G4UOL? The addresses shown in QRZ.com and Buckmaster are different, but neither is good. Any help appreciated. Thanks. 73 Bill N4NX

Once you get your dimensions, look up this link for just the right case. It is excellent for travel. It is rugged, watertight and foam filled. Lots of choices. http://www.casesbypelican.com/pelican-cases-sizes.htm 73, Pete W0RTT ...

If u want the best, and why not for an MP? get a Pelican case. But it the item is going out of ur hands, have at least two inches of closed cel foam around it (the white stuff, but not peanuts) in all dimensions regardless of where it goes. Also, maybe u can purchase an original box from a former owner or even Yaesu. My Mark 5 is 16 X 16 X 7 including knobs, but u gotta allow beyond that, of course. 73 Charles Harpole [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe/unsubscribe, feedback, FAQ, problems http://njdxa.org/dx-chat To post a message, DX related items only, dx-chat@njdxa.org This is the DX-CHAT reflector sponsored by the NJDXA http://njdxa.org

We used Pelican cases (with Pelican provided foam inserts) on FT-1000MP's that were shipped to the Maldives. The radios move around a lot in those cases. One radio's RF connectors were pushed in and another radio's tuning knob assembly was pushed in. The tuning knob broke the printed circuit board in several places (I think it was 4 breaks but it's been a long time). I am preparing a Pelican case for my Alpha 76A and among other things there will be a padded wooden panel with cutouts to fit over the knobs and buttons to protect the front panel controls and another padded wooden panel with similar cutouts to protect the connectors there. Of course the power transformer and tubes will be removed during transit. Remember the ape that used to demonstrate the ruggedness of luggage on television? That ape is alive and well and works at every airport in the world as a baggage handler. de Paul, W8AEF If u want the best, and why not for an MP? get a Pelican case. -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
