[1000mp] Fw: Shuttle-jog position?

Sat, 22 Nov 2003 14:31:48 -0600

Brian and the group,

The MFJ-434 voice keyer with jumpers in the factory default postion (Yaesu)
caused my FT1000MP to intermittently change frequency always going
down...like it was scanning. At first, Burghardt and I thought it was just
an adjustment in the shuttle jog. After the second trip, when Burghardt
couldn't find anything wrong with it, we got on the phone together and
decided it had to be something connected to the radio. The only thing new,
was the voice keyer.

After I got the radio back, disconnected the voice keyer stopped the
frequency change. A call to MFJ resulted in the receipt of an Addendum to
the Manual version 2A which has you changing some jumpers from the default
Yaesu postion. Apparently some Yaesu's have mike pins 2 and 5 grounded while
others have +5 volts on pin 2 and pin 5 grounded.

Anyway, since changing the pins per the addendum, I have no more problems.

BTW, the service at Burghardt is all it's cracked up to be. Great folks and
they're getting my business.

If anyone needs fills on the MFJ instructions, just let me know. I didn't
try and track how this could happen with the schematics, I just wanted it
fixed.

73,
Bill
