The problem of delayed turn on of the display appears to me to be
directly related to how long the radio has been turned off.  At times I
may not use my MP for a week or more and when I power it up I might have
to wait as long as 5 seconds for the display to light up.  If only
powered down overnight, the display comes on immediately the next
morning.

It does not seem to be related to whether the antenna is connected to the
radio or not because during those extended periods of power off the
antenna is connected to a different radio (and not to the MP).

I'm not at all concerned about this and just write it off as one of those
nuisance things.
