[1000mp] MP problem getting worse

[FireBrick]

My MP seems to be getting worse.
My previous help/info request stated that I had full power into a dummy
load.
Now, it won't transmit into a dummy load.


This started the other day.
It won't tune and always shows High SWR.
I'm aware of the Tuner Memory limits and did the memory delete.
Does it into amp, barefoot, or into a dummy load.
I changed coax into the dummy load.
No change.
No output.
Then all of a sudden it will start, if the tuner is turned off.
But horrendous TVI and I can even hear a harsh sound in the monitor.

After a while the tuner will start working.
Still get the TVI if I use the amp.
Barefoot, the TVI is just barely detectable.

I have made NO changes to the station in the past 3 weeks that I can think
of.
I've checked all ground cables and ground rods.

This morning I turned the MP on after being off all night and I could get no
output.
It seems (coincidental???) that the problem is worse at first start up.

As this 'no tuner' thing exists directly into a dummy load, I have to assume
it is a MP failure. Right???
Could it be a relay thing?

Right now, it will xmit, even with the tuner, but still has the severe TVI
and harsh monitor note.
