Ya know, I spent good time EARLY this morning before work telling you what
the problem is and the fix and sent it to you directly. Too bad the
message bounced back.
Why is your e-mail address NO GOOD???

Hi,

I have an FT-1000MP, the original, not Mk-V, not field, vintage is
1999. Recently I have noticed that if I turn the radio on 75 meters,
the receive is low.... until I just tap the mike or key, then the
signals jump up 10-20db, stay there for a while, and eventually, after
4-6 minutes, fade down, until another mike tap is applied. This will
continue all night. Antenna is a resonant dipole. It seems to happen
only on 75/80... preamp problem? should I switch to flat?
Suggestions?

Thanks!
