[1000mp] IDBS in the display under tuning????

[ZULURADIØ RADIO STATION]

I have just aquired another FT-1000MP MKV Field and the radio has a strange condition that does not affect (as far as I know) the operation of the radio.

The problem is that in any mode the RTTY/CW tuning indicater comes on at the bottom of the left hand side of the display and instead of 'TUNING' underneath the 'IDBS' comes up .
As you speak the arrows move from the centre outwards .

I have looked high and low for this condition but have not come close.

The radio has been reset several times.

Anyone had the same experience and know how to diable this or enable it on my other FIELD.

Many thanks and hope this can be maybe a new topic for this top radio.
