I bought a new Mark V 2 months ago and it worked ok for a
week, then the receiver went dead on all bands and all modes.
It came back from factory warranty repairs needing Diodes
D1055, D1056 and they added a 3rd diode -- G2060004.
It worked ok for a few days and then the receiver went dead again.
So now heading back for repair again.
It was ok when I turned it off in the evening but when turned on in
the morning it was completely dead. No receive any band or any mode.
I found a used Mark V Field as a back up rig since the Mark V
seems to be unreliable. Or maybe I just got a lemon?
The receiver in the Field is a little less sensitive is the only
difference
I have noticed between the two rigs.
Does anyone know what might be causing the diodes to blow?
It certainty wasn't anything I did.
