[1000mp] FT-1000MP MKV Receiver Problems

[dl8uf at darc.de]

Hi John,

did you try to turn the jogwheel surrounding the main tuning knob clockwise
(which means tuning up) when the transceiver started to tune down the band?
Some OM have just had a mechanical problem with the jogwheel, so the
transceiver started to tune in one or the other direction all by himself.
Good luck,

Hi All,

 

I have a problem with my MKV for around a year now, it has been doing
strange things like tuning down the band all by itself. Sometimes it will do
it when you press the Notch button, other times the receiver will work fine
for a hour or more before it starts tuning down the band, other times it
starts ufter a few minutes. I have noticed that the audio quality seems to
change at the same time. I was told that it could be down to interference
from the invertor board that feeds the display tubes so I disconnected the
power to the invertor but it made no differents and started tuning down the
band after a while. The display was of course blank because of no power but
I could still hear it tuning down the band.

 

I was wondering if anyone has had this fault or has any ideas?
