[Yaesu] RE: FT1000D sub receiver problem, need help

[Maury Guzick]

Yes Ron, this one has a lock, but as I mentioned, the display changes frequency (as long as the lock is off) but the sub receiver does not change. So the lock is working as it should and even off the receiver does not tune. 
 
Yeasu thinks this is either a mixer or vco problem so I will be shipping it to them to diagnose and repair. This is going to take more time than I have to work on it. I'll let everyone know when I get it back what was the exact problem.
 
Thanks 
 
Maury

Maury,

Not being a FT1000D Owner but a FT1000mp Owner, does the "D" have a lock button or command that has frozen out the use of the frequency control dials?
