We have measured the transitions from the bound 3snk to the autoionizing 3pnk Mg Stark states in static and microwave electric fields. Due to the small separation of the Mg⁺ 3p1/2 and 3p3/2 states there is substantial configuration interaction between Stark states converging to the two limits, and the n^-4 scaling of the autoionization widths expected from the simplest one-limit picture is not observed.
