[1000mp] 1000MP Self-Tuning Problem

[wjs073 at bellsouth.net]

I don't know if the Mk V has the same problem as the original MP with the high voltage power supply for the fluorescent display causing problems with front panel buttons. About a month ago my original MP started to self tune down the band. I pressed the "Lock" button to stop it and then none of the front panel buttons would respond. The fix is to access the wiring behind the front panel and route the 2-conductor HV PS cable away from the ribbon cables. All these cables are on the right side of the front panel as viewed from the front.

Here's a link that describes the problem and the fix better than I can.
