Hi, I want to point out a think about the use of a panadapter, SDR based or whatever, connected to the second IF output of a receiver.
I don't own? FT-1000, but usually the second IF output has a small or very small bandwidth, depending if it is taken? before or after the high selectivity filters. In either case you will get a few kHz and you want as much bandwidth? as you can get to be really useful. I tried that way with a venerable FT-ONE , mainly because it have a IF output, but I found it was not what I desired, so I installed a pickup point in the first IF where it is plenty of BW.? Since the first IF frequency is really high ( 73.115 MHz in the FT-ONE) I could not use a Softrock but a DTV dongle which are dirty cheap. It works with the same SDR programs and I'm very satisfied with the results.
Even I did it in two radios, in the first one I installed the dongle internally with an USB connector in the back panel, and in the other I installed the pickup cable and a coax connector in the panel for an external dongle, which is easier mechanically.
Regards,

Sorry, that is 11.98135mhz. I also have a 12.00 but I suspect you'll have better luck with the offset frequency.
