Graeme,
 
Do you have anything plugged into the Band-Data port or computer port by  any 
chance?

Hi  everyone on the reflector.
I have owned a original FT1000mpdc for 2 years  now, date of manufacture 1996.
I've always had a problem with the inbuilt  electronic 
keyer..................When i switch the rig on from cold the keyer  invarably does not work, the 
dodge i use is to switch the rig off and then  switch the rig back on again 
within a couple of seconds, the keyer then  work's.  If the time between switch 
off and switch on is longer than a  couple of seconds the keyer again fails to 
operate.
It seems to me that the  keyer is failing to fire up when it's ( own ) supply 
appears quickly.
If  this is the case then a large capacitor in the keyer dc supply could 
solve the  problem ?????
I have phoned Yaesu UK and the engineer i spoke to has never  heard of this.
Anybody with any suggestions  ????
Graeme.........G4CKH.
