My MP is from around 1996. I have equipped it with the Inrad roofing filter
and it has done a very good job over the years, although it has been mostly
switched off during the last 10 years.
Listened to the contest today and it suddenly went dead. First it switched
off and on by itself a few times and then it went black. Could hear a slight
bump in the speaker and then nothing. Checked the mains fuse,
but it's ok. What I haven?t done yet is supplying it directly with 12 Volts,
since it could be the built-in power supply. Even though I'm waiting for a
new radio, I really don't feel getting rid of it yet.
Anybody has an idea?

I had an identical situation recently with same symptoms. For what I hear, this is likely the result of aging capacitors in the internal power supply. Rather than dive into replacing capacitors and possibly causing additional harm, I chose to power it with an external 12-volt power supply. It's been performing fine and is probably operating a little cooler now. That's how I dealt with it.

Hello Rainer,

In the 1998 version of the FT-1000MP (USA version), the external power connector at the rear panel connects to nothing.  In order to use external 12V power, you would have to open the enclosure, unplug the internal power supply from it?s connector.   Then route the cable from the external power connector to where the internal power supply was formerly connected.   

You would think there should be a switch to select either power source.  But that?s not the way it?s done on the 1998 version.  Your 1996 radio will likely require the above procedure in order to use external power.  

I had heard that there is an internal high voltage module that drives the display, but I have no experience with that.

Good luck,

Tom K4AKC

 Hi Rainer
There are 3 to 5 physically small electrolytic capacitors located in the internal power suppy that will cause the supply to fail to start. You need to be able to remove the supply then open it up to replace these
it is not a job to be tackled unless your familiar with such work you have to remove the PA unit to ge the supply out. You can test that this is the problem by using external supply.
Wish you luck 73 Morris WA4MIT

I bought a 2nd used markV-field which seems to have a problem. When I 
connect a microham microkeyer II to it the mic gain seems to be very 
high and microphones even I don't connect a microphone at all! The same 
mkii works normally with my original markv-field with the same settings. 
Do you know where to look for?

My FT1000MP MK V (circa 1997) has a display delay.
When turning on the rig after not using it for a week the display is 
dark, blank, nothing.
Then, after several minutes the display comes on and everything is ok.
But if I turn on the rig after using it the day before, then there is no 
delay.
Is there a simple fix?
tnx de Ken

Hi Ken,

Some years ago I did a modification due to another problem, namely drift.

See 
www.sm2cew.com/FT1000MP%20MkV%20problem%20-%20rig%20tuning%20down%20in%20frequency%20by%20itself.pdf

Since performing the mod I have never seen the display delay that I 
saw earlier. My display always comes on instantly when my MkV is 
switched on. Before it was quite annoying to sit and wait for the 
display to come on, sometimes a minute delay in my case.

So maybe the problem is linked to the apparently underdimensioned 
small SMD 7805 that eventually fails and causes other problems.

Just a suggestion from me..

Peter,

Thanks for sharing the results of your troubleshooting.  Voltage 
regulators on older radios can cause a lot of strange things to happen! 
  I've added your PDF to my FT-1000MP file.

You did a beautiful job on your Elmac transmitter. What paint did you 
use on the cabinet??
