It sounds like your lithium battery may be going or gone. My MP Mk V manual
says (on the next to last page):
"A 3-V Type CR2032 Lithium Battery (BT5001) is location on the CNTL UNIT
board (underside) of the transceiver. This maintains the memorized data in
your radio. Battery life is normally greater than five years, however,
should replacement be needed ..." I remember seeing your MP more than five
years ago, so this seems quite possible.
Another possibility is described in the section "Memory Back-Up Switch"
(also on the next to last page of my manual). Perhaps you inadvertently
moved this switch.

This is for 'MP owners. I must have inadvertently changed a setting on my
'MP over the holidays. When I turn it on, it is set on 7.000 LSB -- and
not on the frequency/mode it was on when I turned it off. In addition,
when I change bands after turning it on, it is on 21.000 or 14.000,
etc. Other than that, it works just the same. Anybody know what I need to
do so that when I turn it on it will be on the last frequency/mode?
I thought I'd ask here before trying the Yaesu reflector. Also, I sent an
email to Yaesu last week asking about this but have not yet received a
response. Couldn't find it in the manual.
Thanks/73,
Jay, K4OGG
