[1000mp] PSK31 on FT-1000MP & MENU 8.6 Easy-Set

[G4GED Dave]

Hi Mac
Thanks for your comments.

The problem here is that on my FT1000MP(original), EASY-SET only has 3 
options; OFF, FAX and PACKET. There's no USB option?

I notice from your previous email that you're using the Mk 5 whereas mine is 
the original 1000MP so maybe that's the reason?
Maybe SSTV setting does the same as USB setting on this rig, I really dont 
know?

The point is that when I set my EASY-SET to SSTV as was recommended, the rig 
doesn't implement it, the EASY-SET option just defaults back to OFF next 
time I go back and look at Menu?

Rapidly pulling my remaining hair out here!  :-((

Tnx Agn
Dave
