I had one, too, but I never really liked it. It was a good radio, but
the audio always sounded "noisy and artificial" to me, and it was tiring
to listen to.
I got rid of it and got a Kenwood TS-850, then a TS-950, and finally a
TS-950SDX, which I still have. I've always enjoyed the "Kenwood Audio",
and the 950SDX is a great radio for those days when I want to "spin some
knobs"!
Of course now that I have one of the Hercules "DJ Control" boards, and
can "spin knobs" with my Flex 5000, I think the Kenwood's days are numbered!

You're right, Jim, I was confused. Actually I had a FT1000MP for many
years and loved it. The DSP was pretty good, although not like the
ones we enjoy today. It had shift, width, NR, NB, and some shaping
presets that sometimes were good and sometimes not so good. The DSP
was done by a dedicated 32-bit floating-point processor whose
programmability was limited compared to what came later. By now, of
course, DSP chips have evolved tremendously, and form the heart of
cellphones, CD and DVD players, and so many other gadgets we love
today.
