Guy,

I just re-tested my FT1K MKV with the menu settings adjusted for 
maximum delay (7-4 = 30ms and 7-5 = 5.1 seconds). It made NO 
difference I must have some other problem. I am going to have to pull 
the cover off the unit and look at the individual gate control voltages on 
the RF and IF stages. Perhaps that will narrow it down as to which stage
is causing the problem.
