[1000mp] FT-1000MP MKV Receiver Problems

[dl8uf at darc.de]

Hello John,

another "unwanted behaviour" that I can remember came from a software that
was running wild (in the background) and connected to the transceiver via
CAT-Interface. Just an idea ;-)

Hi Uwe,

 

     I have removed the Tuning knob and the jogwheel assembly off from the
rig and it still behaves exactly the same. E.g tunes down after an hour or
so. If I turn the jogwheel in the clockwise direction when it is still in
place on the rig then it will temporary stop tuning down until I let go.
Thats why I removed the whole assebly from the rig.
