[1000mp] Tuner malfunction

[pp5ms at pp5ms.com]

Hi Jerry, I´m trying to explain, apologize my bad english.

My rig work TX 100%, no problem if I not use the tuner.

When the "Wait" comes on, the rig still receiving, like the PTT command is 
missing, the transmit don´t comes on to make the tune work.

About SWR, I have test using a 50 ohms dumy-load an one antena at 1.5:1, but 
since the rig never turn on the transmitter (via tuner command) the tuner 
don´t know the SWR on the output. The "High SWR" never cames on.

You ask me "is the tuner doing anything?". If I leave the tuner ON and 
change the bands, I can listen the motors inside change the capacitors 
positions, nothing more.

Summarizing, everything seems to be well, but the tuner don´t put the rig in 
transmission to make the tunning.

If I use the rig without the tuner, all work normal.

I wait that my explanation has made to understand me, and hope you have some 
sugestion to me to try.

73,
Marcus - PP5MS
