[1000mp] mk-v power error

[Hans Remeeus]

Hello Marc,

First I should try another external SWR/Powermeter. The output which you are
measuring definitely is too high.

I suspect the internal SWR/Powermeter circuit of your Mark V is causing
these strange behaviours you are mentioning.

Please come back to us when you have tried another external device and give
us your measurements.

In the meantime you should be very very careful, as your Mark V is not
working as it should be. This could damage your PA-unit!!

Good luck.

Help.....
I just got some strange behaviour with my ft1000mp MARK-V.
The power meter on my MK-V is gone ,showing on fullpower 5watts
High SWR on 10m.I checked with a dummy load got the same...
Buth if I check with external wattmeter
160m    280watt
80m 250watt
40m 250watt
20m 250watt
15m 300watt
10m 280watt

all my antennas/switching device are OK.Buth when I connect a wrong antenne
to wrong band ,like 160m antenne on 20mband ,Normally he have to switch down
the power (ALC)
and showing HI SWR...he don't do it and give full power output on external
meter !
SWR meter sowing swr 1.1 and external meter 3.0.
On 10M he is showing high swr (meter on MK-V)on my 10m beam ,measure with
external swr meter is OK.IF i switch my 160m on 10mbband ,higs swr is gone
on TX meter !
STRANGE  !!!!
