[1000mp] Low Power Output on FT1000MP and Sub Receiver doesn't work

Thu, 27 Mar 2003 11:42:20 -0600

Yes, did a master reset with no differences.  Same with Ant A and Ant B.
Works same with rx ant input.  Little difference in power out with the ant
tuner putting out a little less with the tuner in.  Internal SWR leds as
well as the external meter indicate a good match to either the quad or the
dummy load.  Sure puzzles me what is going on, but someone else must have
had the same problem.  There are a bunch of switching diodes on the rf
board, but have not dug deep enough to try to test them.  HELP...

OK ... what does the INTERNAL MP SWR leds indicate when you
key the rig on RTTY? HIGH SWR?

Does using the MP's internal tuner cause any differences as to
the maximum power output?

Have you tried running your normal antenna(s) into the RCVR IN
jack on the MP <remember to switch the front button>. Does that
make the receiver(s) work properly?

Have you tried ANT A ... and ANT B ... same results on both?

Just for heck of it ... have you tried a MASTER RESET of everything?

<hoping some of the above help you to narrow this problem down!>
