Ha! I can literally operate the 5000 in the dark. I love me some buttons and knobs. To be fair, a touch-screen is easy to work in the dark too.

Just wonder if you have a extra set of frequency display tubes? If not you should think about it. Its the reason i passed on a 5000

I have a spare for every display, including the SM-5000. But I keep the brightness at 2 or 3. No issues thus far, since I bought it, in 2019. Worst case, I use software to control it. Turn it into a “Yaesu Flex Radio.”

This is exactly why digital modes, and the future is so bright. (If you’re into just text/data/binary xfer). The software can be set to TX at specific bandwidth and frequencies. The RX software can be set to bounce around a frequency, and locate signals beneath the noise floor. The user can be just plain dumb, but at least the ones who watch this, and study, know what is going on. There’s no reason why in 2023, hams can’t have a worldwide data network. Hopefully the future generations get on the ball. Voice is fun, and I love it, but when it comes to making contact, and xferring information, it’s well within reach without launching satellites and other extreme measures.

@n4hnhradio I love CW. It's a great tool to have in your wheelhouse. At the same time, it's exhausting to send/rcv information over CW compared to using a modern device like laptop/tablet/phone to just digitally encode whatever you want and fire it off to the other end to be received and converted. Especially when the atmospheric conditions needed are not there.

Great video Doug! I continue to be amazed by the capabilities of the FTDX5000MP. I'm climbing the walls with impatience to get my hack reestablished. Just weeks way. Will contact you for a sked once I'm slinging watts again. All the best buddy. John, 2E0SVB.
