[1000mp] Mark V Field Rx Anomolies

Dear Carl:
    These "bumps" are a "feature" of the radio.  If you have enough
noise coming from the antenna, you will not notice them.  I too find
them disconcerting.

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.
They
have no bandwidth or signal strength.  They seem to be some type of
"artifacts" of the synthesizer, perhaps.  Oddly, the same thing happens
with
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.
