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. =
