That is an engineering defect.  As far as I've heard, they all do
that.   There is a mod available from Yaesu that should improve things,
but I dont think it's a complete cure.  Instead of curing the problem in
the MP, they decided to modify the DVS2.  It's addressed in Application
Note AN-94907 from Yaesu.  I never did the mod, so I dont know if it
really cures it or not as I decided to sell it to a 990 user instead.
