In regard to Chris' comment about hearing strong stations 10 kHz away, I found that NOT to be the case for me. I have 2 K2/100s with fairly recent S/Ns (4687 and 5119) and the high signal mod. Conditions were SO good for SS that even QRP signals were 20 over 9 and HP stations were regularly pinning my LEDs. I was always able to sit within a couple of hundred cycles of a 40-60 over signal (I'm guessing it was 60 because the LEDs only go to 40 over ;-) ) and plow away until the HP station got tired of me working guys and he couldn't. I'm not knocking the FT-1000 at all, because I've never used one in a contest, but I think there must be more to this story. I use a 500 or 300 Hz bandwidth and the ADSP unit set to about the same when I CQing in tight spaces. I made 1107 contacts and all 80 mults, but I had a serious problem with my software and will have 30 or more dupes because of software issues, but the rigs played GREAT! I would still love to see a mod to turn off the PTT sending during CW though. I miss that capability, big time.
