[1000mp] FT1000MP/V Power Out Problem

[W4LDE at cfl.rr.com]

Scott,

On old MP's it was a problem, I got the tech bulletin from the FT1000mp
WEB site, http://www.va3cr.net/  problem seemed specific to 15 meters,
go there and search, if you have an older FT1000mp I recommend it, its
easy, I didn't use the inductors recommended so it took some solder and
copper braid plus some copper tape, it was about proper grounding.  If
your having a problem I think that I still have the two (2) page bulletin.
