[1000mp] FT-1000MP No power output

[Mike Schatzberg]

PS:

I would also borrow  a know high quality wattmeter, to be sure of the
results.  The Mark V wattmeter, I have found, is very accurate indeed.

It would be pretty rare I think, for the SWR meter in the Mark V to show a
good match, and the Mark V wattmeter to show full output.

73,

Mike
