[1000mp] FT-1000MP MarkV Field problem / question

[Stephen Hawkins]

Gang,

I posted a description of what seemed an odd problem with my Yaesu a while 
back.  Further experimenting has painted a clearer picture of the problem.

As an experiment I selected split, but NOT dual.  I had a friend listen and I 
am indeed operating split, and the frequency on vfo's A and B are correct.   
If I then select Dual, I should hear vfo A in my left ear, and the 
Subreceiver that is following vfo B in my right ear.  I do hear vfo A in my 
left ear.  Tuning vfo B does change the frequency that it is tuned to and and 
I transmitting on.  However I only hear band noise in my right ear, even when 
I know that vfo B is tuned to a huge pilup and I should be hearing all kinds 
of signals.

I took the radio apart so I could get at the Sub Receiver board.  I wiggled 
everything, hoping I would find an intermittant connection.  No such luck.

Any great ideas will be appreciated.

Second question.  I saw the posting about a potential recall of the Yaesu.  I 
searched the Yaesu USA website and see nothing about it.  Does anyone have 
more info.

Thanks,
Steve
