[1000mp] FT1000MP/V Power Out Problem

[W4LDE-Ron]

Tony,

Reason I asked is that with spurious emissions your watt meter 
(external) will show 200 watts although the rig meter may only show 10 
watts, It happen to me on 15 meters until I did the upgrade as recommend 
by Yaseu.  Maybe a loose connector on the RF board, take off the cover 
and check the connectors on the LPF unit below the Fan, thats were I had 
all of my mod's go.  Hope it works out for you
