[1000mp] Noise Blanker Mod for original FT-1000mp

[Augie Hansen]

Hi Graeme,

> Hi Augie/Gus ?

Confusing I know. My given name is August, my family and work associates
call me Augie, and I'm Gus only on ham radio. Having split personalities can
be useful at times, but is occasionally a problem.

I usually get a service manual for the rigs I buy, but I don't have one for
the mp. I'll check the web. I prefer not to perform surgery unless I have
solid information about the "body" I'm cutting on. So far, I have done as
you suggest -- just keep the control fully in the CCW position.

Thanks,
