[1000mp] S-meter problem with new FT 1000 MP Mark 5 Field

Sat, 31 Jan 2004 19:47:55 +0000

Hi Grant,

thanks for the reply... no. AGC is off. But it seemed that the s-meter 
alignment was busted... he adjusted vr2003 and/or vr2003 and now everything 
is fine. Final calibration will be done with a calibrated source.

Thanks !
