To use USB and the PKT button with the rear Packet jack use the 
1000MP's Easy-Set menu as below:

Commentary: If you want AFSK RTTY, PSK, SSTV, Hell, MFSK16 etc etc 
you should input your audio through the PACKET JACK and press the PKT 
button on the front of therig. Yes, you will be LSB. For USB, all you 
have to do is set the Easy-Set menu item to SSTV-U and then press the 
USER button on the front of the rig after first pressing the PACKET 
button. Press PKT once, you're LSB - press it again, and/or hold it 
longer (can't remember) and you will be in USB. In the MARK-V at 
least, the LSB lite will still be illuminated!! However, you can 
prove you've changed to USB by watching the frequency display and 
then you can also tune to a USB voice signal and it will be intelligible!
