[1000mp] Repair of FT-1000MP MKV

[AD5VJ Bob]

Hi guys

I think I found the problem. If I am right, it wasn't the rig after all. I have a logging application named DXLABS Suite. In it
there is a rig control application named Commander. I remembered that just yesterday I had changed the command interval to be 300ms
instead of 600 ms. Now that I have changed it back and even a little higher )I have it at 750ms) it seems to be stable.

I guess it could be that the processor was being over worked.
If it goes wacky again, I will let everyone know (hopefully not).

Thanks for the information though, he really seems like a very far and honest person from his website. I like it when a repairman
says 'send me an email first describing the issue then send me the rig after we have talked' instead of just saying send it along
and wait for the bill. 

The email was worth finding him out.
