[1000mp] Re: INTERMITTENT RECEIVER FAILURE - FT1000MP

[Don W5FKX]

Steve:

I have had several similar experiences with my 1000MP. It occurs when I
powered ON following a power OFF while the RX DSP was switched in. Upon
powering ON, there is either (a) no rx audio out, or (b) a "motoboating"
oscillatory audio output. Swtiching the DSP to OFF results in proper audio
output, although the probelm returns when the DSP button is again depressed.
Simply powering OFF/ON with DSP OFF appears to provide a reset that resolves
the problem. This is a relatively rare event and has not been of great
concern to me, but it has occurred approximately a half-dozen times or so
over the last few years.
