Default Owners Opinions Requested

You can get hundreds of user opinions on these radios at URL:
http://www.eham.net/reviews/

But be aware they are opinions, some educated, some otherwise.

For more objective reviews check ARRL QST reviews.
http://www.arrl.org/tis/info/prodrev.html

Also, a DXer or contester will choose radios that work well in those
endeavors, a ragchewer may decide much differently.

Also CW types may have entirely different criteria than phone types.

I have made the trip to the local Ham Store and after viewing all the rigs
that they had on the shelves I have limited my choice down to the
following
three rigs listed below.

If there are any owners of the Radios listed I would love to have your
input
about your radio and would you buy the same again? Also, if there is a
person, I would appreciate hearing from someone that has owned one, two or
three of the radios listed and how you would compare the lot based upon
your
operating experience. Also if you had a specific gripe about one?
Thanks

Rig #1 IC-746PRO by Icom HF, 50M, 2 Mdeters

Rig #2 TS-2000S by Kenwood

Rig #3 Mark-V (FT-1000MP) Field by Yaesu

I have obtained my impressions of each by listening at the controls of
each
and while two have VHF and one VHF & UHF while the last is HF only

While I am not going to be making a decision for a while I cherish any
input
from current or past owners on their experiences.
