[1000mp] MP receive problem

[Mike Fulcher]

I've been experiencing the receive problem on my MP for some time now.  The 
most serious problem occurs on 40m, then 20m.  The only band I've that has 
not been a problem is 15m.  A dit from the paddles usually brings the 
receive back to life.  I've heard the receive go deaf and come back to life 
by itself without any keying by me.

The problem is getting worse.  Many times I've had to key the rig quickly 
and often to get the receive back to life.  I have not turned off the tuner 
or tried the antenna B port.  It is extremely frustrating in the heat of a 
contest!

I also returned the rig once to Yaesu and was told they could not duplicate 
the problem.  I'll be watching to see how others solve this annoyance.
