I finally took the FT-1000MP apart to try to find out why it quite. It
looks like something in the PLL LO 1 loop has quit. LO 2 and 3 both
are working OK. I have not went looking for bad solder joints yet but
expect that will be the first step. But if a part has failed is their
anyone specific part that has been known to fail that might be the
problem. I tried to set the voltages of VCO 1 to 4 but they are all
low and stay there no matter what the frequency.
Any help or suggestion will be welcome. I will probably be working on
this radio on an off most of the day either until I get tired off it
or get interrupt to work on something else.
The sub-receiver works fine as does the front display. I have tried the
processor reset which doesn't resolve the problem. I don't think
this is a voltage regulator issue but let me know your thought.
Thanks Ron WA0KDS
