I am having problems with my 3  month old FT-1000MKV-Field.  Receive 
sensitivity on the main receiver drops  intermittently after transmit.  It seems 
almost as if attenuation is  present or a dirty relay contact.  No panel controls 
affect this.  The  Sub-Receiver is fine and shows full signal strength at all 
times even if main  sensitivity is low.  If main receiver is showing 2 s-units 
in this  condition, sub receiver may be showing s-9.  Changing antenna 
positions  does not help.  Changing bands, while in this state does not help.  I  can 
only return the main receiver sensitivity by bumping the transmit switch a  
couple of times.  This happens numerous times during a qso or during the  day.
 
It started 2 months ago but was very intermittent.  Now is happens  enough 
times during the day for me to have compiled a good list of symptoms and  list 
of things that have not effect on the problem.
 
I am not sure, however, if Yaesu service will have the patience to test the  
radio long enough for the problem to occur or if this is an ongoing problem 
and  the will know what to change or repair from my symptoms list.  Anyone else  
had this problem??
 
I am sure it is not a relay problem as described in other posts because of  
it happening on all bands as I change them while the problem is present.
