Thanks to all that have responded.  Apparently the fan should cycle on 
and off, as it did originally.  I'll be talking to Yaesu regarding that 
on Monday.

Many have asked what mods Yaesu performed when I sent in my MP.  The 
two Yaesu-sanctioned mods that I'm aware of are the Heil headphone mod 
and the SSB Power Output mod, which makes the RF Power control more 
linear when using the processor.  My experience has been that when 
Yaesu does any work on a unit they also automatically do any 
significant component changes they deem necessary, without explanation 
of what the changes accomplish.  In my case (a year-old radio) they 
changed 10-15 parts, mostly resistors/capacitors.  You do get a listing 
of the parts, but again, no explanation. The only explanation is 
"upgrades performed and unit aligned to spec....."..

Hope this info is of some value to other MP users.

73,
Steve
