9000DS ROOFING FILTERS AND OTHER QRM FIGHTING TOOLS BY SLIDING UP VERY
CLOSE TO LOUD STATIONS AND OPERATING WITHOUT DEGRADING THE PERFORMANCE OF
EITHER STATION.  THE FTDX9000D HEARS EXTREMELY WELL.  IN A/B COMPARISONS
WITH MY FT 1000MP, THE SAME SIGNALS APPEARED TO BE MUCH SHARPER ON THE
9000D THAN ON THE MP.  WEAK EUROPEAN STATIONS THAT WERE SOMEWHAT MUDDY ON
THE MP WERE CRISPER AND EASIER TO COPY ON THE FTDX9000D.  OVER THE YEARS I
HAVE BECOME USED TO USING THE FT 1000MP AND IT WAS NICE TO BE ABLE TO
ISOLATE A SIGNAL SO THAT IT APPEARED AS IF IT WERE THE ONLY ONE ON THE
BAND.  THE NEW GENERATION OF DSPS, AS FOUND IN THE FTDX9000D, MAKES IT SEEM
AS IF YOU HAVE PEELED BACK ANOTHER LAYER OF QRM TO COPY OTHERWISE
UNREADABLE SIGNALS.  AS WITH THE MP, THE 9000D HAS AN AUTOMATIC NOTCH
FILTER THAT WILL SEEK AND DESTROY ANY ANNOYING HETERODYNE IN YOUR PASSBAND.
OVERALL THIS 200 W RADIO REALLY PUTS OUT A COMMANDING SIGNAL.  THE FOUR
ANTENNA INPUTS COULD BE LESS OF AN IMPORTANT FEATURE SINCE MOST CONTESTERS
