[Yaesu] FT-1000MP failure

[Greg Clark]

I've found myself in a similar situation but with my Mark V.  It is about 7 months
old and has been sitting idle for about 3 weeks.

I made a few Q's with it this weekend and let it sit idle for an hour.  The
main receiver is now totally gone, no receive, no hiss, no transmit.  The sub-receiver
does work on some bands, but it depends on what band the main receiver is set
at. 

A master reset did nothing.  A call to Yaesu resulted in the same.

So, it's now in the hands of UPS and the world of warranty repair.

I'll report on progress or lack there-of.

Sub receiver works properly. Reset did not help.
