Hi Guys
I am pleased to hear that unlike VERTEX you can source spares from USA for
FT1000MP.
I am in the market for a control board for a 1000MP series one.
I would like to experiment with it to shield and lock the oscillator to
below 25 MHz.
Once done I will modify my second board and sell it back to anyone
interested in removing the offending carrier out of the 6M band or 12M band
depending.
If I can source a control board it means I don't risk taking my existing MP
off the air.
It might also give me the confidence to attack the SMC on my MKV which
although it does not exhibit the same symptoms it does have the 25 MHz
master oscillator.
In bot cases plugging in any peripheral device such as MIKE, EARPHONE, KEY
allows the oscillator to leak out and produce quite strong signals on 25, 50
and 75 MHz.
So if you know of a source or would sell me a board please advise.
