My new Mark V Field exhibits a strange behavior in the receiver. =

Approximately ever 82 kHz, there is a slight click when tuning across the=

frequency.  For example on 15 meters, at 21054.17, 21136.10, 21218.02,
21299.97 and 21381.88.  They are not signals, birdies, or heterodynes.  T=
hey
have no bandwidth or signal strength.  They seem to be some type of
"artifacts" of the synthesizer, perhaps.  Oddly, the same thing happens w=
ith
the subreceiver on the same freqs.  Even stranger, if I tune across these=

freqs using the clarifier knob rather than main VFO, they are NOT present=
!! =

The behavior does not impair the use of the radio, but it is somewhat
annoying.  =


Has anyone else experienced this in an MP, Mark V, or Field?  Any
recommendations?  Do I have defective unit?  Thanks, Carl K3RV. =
