I had a very similiar problem with my FT-1000. Started as a intermittent
thing and got worse. I shipped it back to Yeasu twice without having
the problem corrected. Finally I asked them to send me a new control
board which I installed myself and fixed the problem. That was five
years ago and it still works fine...
