[1000mp] INTERMITTENT RECEIVER FAILURE - FT1000MP

[NORM FUSARO]

Steve.
YES. YES. YES.
I got many replies to check the squelch and RF gain etc. but it took many,
many months to figure this out and it was a poor connection with the
external speaker plug.  Not in the rig but on the speaker cord.  I had one
of those adapters that went from 1/8 mini phone plug to RCA and then a RCA
"Y " connector.  It seems that only when EDSP was on the problem would
occur.  It first happened about 2 years ago then 10 months no problem.
Happened at FD and I removed all peripherals and hooked them up again and
all was FB.  It was when I was moving the rig to the new shack that I was
able to duplicate the problem.. Got rid of the adapter and "Y" and just use
a good patch cord from the rig to SP-8 and it is solid.  Your switching the
rig off and on again could be just enough movement to make the connection
work again.  I did the same.  Kicking the bench works too.  :-)
