[1000mp] FT1000MP Mark V - Transmission failure

[py2xb at integral.com.br]

 HNY to all   
 Today when I was calling in a CW pile-up, I have noticed that the
FT1000MP MV's RF output was intermittent. I use to run this radio with
low power to drive an amplifier (40 to 50W).  
 I have observed that RF output intermittency is the same on all
modes and all bands. I have changed the Antenna connector (from A to
B) and the problem remains. The reception is not affected.   

 SWR does not go high. VCC remains close to 30V, IC and ALC drop when
RF output fails.  
 The problem is the same either with very low power or with 200W.  
 Before I open the radio, I am wondering if anyone had this situation
before. If so, any guidance is appreciated. Thanks to all
