Any FT1000mp owners out there that may have seen this problem.
During the cqww dx last weekend, early Saturday morning when I was not
really awake, the FT1000mp started resetting its VFOs to the band edge (and
changing other settings like monitor to OFF) each time I hit PTT. After
several times of this, I had to turn the radio off and do the rest of the
contest as SO1R.
I thought about it Monday morning and removed the rig to replace the 3 volt
battery that keeps the VFO memories alive. The rig came back up and seemed
to work for a few days. But Friday, while I was listening for DX, it reset
itself without any PTT on my part. Then after getting back on the right
frequency, I keyed the rig (MUX) to adjust the antenna tuner in the linear
and when I unkeyed the rig, the radio shut off totally.
I can not do anything to get the radio to turn back on. It is running on
external DC power. The AC fuse is ok but I am not using that power source.
I do have DC on the molex power plug.
I am afraid that I must ship the radio back to Yaesu (for the fourth time!)
Any ideas to try before I do that????
