[1000mp] (no subject)

[Stu.bsm]

I had concerns with my mkv 200w version and sent it to Yaesu to check out.

I was told that it was to do with the temperature in my shack. So I did some tests and sure it was.

Shack cold took longer to come on 
Shack warm came on almost instantly.
Sometimes when the radio is off for long periods it takes a little longer than normal

After 5yrs its still working
