[1000mp] Mark V Display

[Art Searle W2NRA]

This is a widely reported anomaly.  I haven't heard of many display 
failures, just the delay in illuminating (as you put it).  My Field doesn't 
do this.  I have always used the lower display.  I fell that is bright 
enough for me.  It's menu setting 3.4.  I wonder if that has anything to do 
with this?

Does anyone have an explanation for the peculiar nature of the display on 
the FT1000MP Mark V Field?

While it always comes up to a satisfactory brilliance, it will start off 
quite dim and - often now - the receiver will start with no display at all 
and only after several seconds will the display begin to illuminate.

I've casually read some comments on this before and am under the impression 
that this is normal but I don't own any other piece of electronics that 
behaves this way.

Thanks in advance.
