Subject: RE: [1000mp] Display
I have to disagree with point nr2 below. The amount of time my Mark-5 is off
has nothing to do with how long it takes the display to come on. I turn my
Mark-5 off whenever I am not using it. I will have it on and off several
times every day. Sometimes it will come on in less than 5 seconds and
sometimes it will take much longer, as long as 25 seconds. Occasionally it
will come on instantly, but that is rare. It seems to be the nature of the
beast and I guess we will have to live with it.
I think this thread has been discussed several times in the past year and
the answer seems to be the same as before, there is no solution at this
time.

Slow Display

Problem: A number of users have reported that their display takes 15 seconds
or more to fully come on.

Solution:  According to Yaesu: "The technical explanation is that there is
some protection built in to avoid pushing the display to full blast from a
very cold start which would result in a shorter life span for the display.
It appears to be a normal event for a lot of owners, and as long as the
display comes on full power eventually, it is probably "normal".


Problem: Last week I went on vacation, after my return, when I turned on the
radio, for the first time ever the display was blank for a few seconds. Then
the radio worked normally.

Solution/Comments: The problem of delayed turn on of the display appears to
me to be directly related to how long the radio has been turned off. At
times I may not use my MP for a week or more and when I power it up I might
have to wait as long as 5 seconds for the display to light up. If only
powered down overnight, the display comes on immediately the next morning.
It does not seem to be related to whether the antenna is connected to the
radio or not because during those extended periods of power off the antenna
is connected to a different radio (and not to the MP). I'm not at all
concerned about this and just write it off as one of those nuisance things.
