Yes, I use Y-adapters (on an Elecraft K3, not FT-1000MP) to split band data
output to up to three devices at once: a Top Ten Band Decoder (which drives
bandpass filters), a KPA500 amp, and a microHAM double six switch (similar
to an Array Solutions SixPak).  I didn't try it with an MP.

Note:  please limit further questions in this reflector to those pertaining
directly to Win-Test.  Thanks.
