[1000mp] Fw: Shuttle-jog position?

Thu, 20 Nov 2003 21:12:33 -0600

I just went through this. Are you by any chance using an MFJ-434 Voice
Keyer? If so that is what is causing the problem.  If not, I would be
looking at the mike cable.

If you are using the MFJ434 you need to change the jumpers to the alternate
Yaesu position in the manual. If that's the case and you don't have the
info, let me know and I can send it to you.

73,
Bill

I recently purchased a FT-1000 MP Field from HRO in Atlanta and exchanged
the rig because the shuttle jog ring switch would not detent back to the
home position. HRO sent me a second rig and it has the same problem. Both
rigs were new out of the box. The problem occurs when the ring switch is
rotated CCW and the switch does not return back to it's centered position.
The frequency keeps shifting down. The problem is intermittent and is most
noticeable when operating CW, AM or RTTY. The cause appears to be the
improper position of the encoder switch. With the jog ring sitting in the
centered position the switch is off center to the right and starts tuning
down in frequency.

If anyone has heard of this problem before and has any suggestions for a
solution I'd appreciate an email.
