"Production
True to its character as an enduring model, the FT-1000D stayed in production for over a decade. Truly the highest level that we felt that an “analog-only” radio could reasonably achieve, the FT-1000D was not challenged in the marketplace by competing models, and we couldn’t make a better analog radio ourselves. So the FT-1000D stayed in the YAESU HF lineup until 2003, when we determined that this champion radio had finally run its course."
