Greg,
I have had that happen twice....   on a 1000mp.
Last time, I replaced the IC with a Max232 device... but the foil vias around that area are getting pretty ratty.

A long time ago, I read somewhere that this was a problem with this series Yaesu.
 
The rig has been OK after the last fix.  
Good luck...
Mike

I have discovered the root cause of my Rig/PC issues in the NAQP.  It appears my RS232 CAT connection on the Mark V blew out.  UGH!  Perhaps some RF in the shack.  I don't even own an amplifier and I was running 100W, but that seems to be the only conclusion I can come to as the root cause (unless the rig is just getting old like the rest of us.  :)  )


The good news is the radio still works great.
