[1000mp] FT-1000MP No power output

[Scott & Laura Goldensoph]

He has the original 100 watt version of the FT-1000MP, not the Mark V, I am 
not sure of the diiferences between the two. I will have him check for the 
ALC line for the amp though. He said he took the tuner and the amp out of 
line and just fed from the radio into the watt meter then into the dummy 
load.
