[1000mp] Tuner symptoms - Mark-V

[Gorsline]

Noticed that the tuner wait light stayed on when on the low end of 17m and
wouldn't go away regardless of what I tried.  Holding down the tuner button only
caused a "hang" at high SWR and low power.  So used K6SE's memory program to
unload memories, and did a memory reset, and could reload the memories.  All OK.
Now a week or two later, same thing to low end of 20m, regardless of whether
antenna or dummy load used.  Same "cure."
In each case this happened after I did something unusual - the first time I had
powered off at the power supply rather than doing the rig first several times
(don't laugh, seen computers with stranger memory bit picks and sequencing
problems).  The second time I had been testing a rig on 6m with the feedline
lying over the Mark-V - no grounds, etc.  I add this to avoid jumping to the
obvious conclusion to rip open the rig and look for bad solder joints in the
17/20m tuner section.  Wanted some additional brain power and thought before
starting with the 22 screws.  Your thoughts appreciated.  tnx and 73,  George

PS to Earl - K6SE - great program, saves some work - tnx!  FYI - the Mark-V has
different easy set parameters than MP that don't seem to get picked up by the
program - specifically when you set up packet through the back jack on USB.  Then
again, the rig doesn't display the USB light either, so maybe you can't read it!
