[1000mp] Problem 10 years old and under 2000 qso's

[Paraic Loughnane]

Hello I hope someone can help I have a problem with my FT1000MP
I have looked through a lot of the posts but cannot find same problem.
Symptoms are as follows.
On RX about 1 minute after power on the fan cuts in.
I removed the top cover to find the heatsink gets very hot after a minute or so after power on.
On RX and the  radio is connected to a dummy load i get s-meter readings from s1 to 60db
on all bands except 160m.
Keying the microphone will not give 100w out instantly it will "creep" from 0 to 100w in maybe 1 second
Power out 12m  is 70 w & 10m is 50w other bands power is 100w.

After some information from a fellow ham which pointed towards the PA unit I investigated here is what i found out.
Disconnecting either of the mini coax connections from the PA board results in a quiet receiver and it no longer overheats.
Any help much appreciated
