[Yaesu] FT-1000MP bug reports

[Tyler G Stewart]

I would like to suggest to everyone who is discovering bugs with their MP's
to please
make sure that you notify Yaesu about them.  I think it's important for
them to know how many of us are dissatisfied with one thing or another so
that they will address the situation instead of just letting things slide. 
Frankly, its starting to sound like they should do a major firmware
revision as there are a lot of bugs in the "features".

Remember the old saying...the squeaky wheel gets the grease!

73, Tyler K3MM
