Field, I'd first check that the receiver is adjusted
properly as Denny suggested.

         First thing I would check is that NB
is turned Off AND fully CCW.  If that helps, W8JI
has a permanent fix for this below:

Second check is that IF Gain in hidden menu 9-1 is
not set too high.  Simple test is use a calibrated
50 uV source like Elecraft's XG1 and set IF gain so
the S-meter reads around S9 on 40m with 500 Hz BW
and preamp off.

P.S.  While you're at it, install W8JI's or Inrad's
key click fix for the Mark V if not already done.
