[1000mp] New MARK-V

[Mike Gilmer, N2MG]

With all the other per-band settings and the like that remain after
power-off, I don't think Yaesu can make everyone happy.

Just because you get bit by something doesn't mean it's a design flaw.  If
you are new to a radio with squelch, or a TS-940 (timer button) or one with
built-in antenna switching  - BEWARE!
