[1000mp] Tuner symptoms - Mark-V

[Simon, James H.]

George,

I would be interested to learn what you hear on this, since I am having the
exact same problem on 12 meters -- but with my MP, not with my Mark V.

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!
