[1000mp] 1000MP trouble on 160M RTTY

[Bert Garcia]

I have the FT-1000MP Mark V Field version, so maybe my menu 9-9 is
different.  Mine came from the factory with 9-9 set for USA and not 15.
Anyone know if the 9-9 menu is different between the two versions?

The Field menu 9-9 has selections of JA, 1, USA, JA IA, NEU-EU, 5, JAR D1,
JAR D2, 8,
9, 10, 11, 12, NEU-NCR, 14, 15, GEN.  This looks like it could also be 0, 1,
2, 3, 4, 5, ... etc.  If so, I guess the setting would be USA or 2 for Rich?
