Has anyone had a chance yet to get some serious use of the new Yaesu FT-2000, especially with one or more MTU preselectors installed?

For me, the key question with any new rig is whether the receiver performance is SIGNIFICANTLY better than its predecessor, or its competitors. A new rig will always have new features, which typically make working difficult ones easier, but I'd like to hear whether the FT-2000 plus MTU is noticeably better receiving than the FT-1000MP (for example).

We shouldn't assume that improved receiver performance comes automatically along with all the extra features. For example, although the FT-1000MP is my primary workhorse rig, I have always been disappointed that its raw sensitivity on a totally quiet band (10M long path for example) is not as good as my old Kenwood TS-940S, which will be back on live standby when the sunspots eventually return.

TIA, John, NT5C.
