In the FT1000MP MK V, you have to go into a menu and change a NB setting to
reduce NB gain. The only reason the MK V tests so much worse than other
top-end Yaesu's for narrow spaced signal performance is the menu setting of
the NB. Moving one resistor to a new location eliminates the need to get
into the hidden menu to change NB gain.


So then if I don't ever use the blanker, and have both the A and B gains set to zero, I don't need to mess with R2046 at all? That would be a relief, because I was about to do the combined key click/NB mod on my Mark V, and didn't really like the idea of removing the SMD R2046 from the PC board.
