My FT-1000D has developed a problem. The symptoms are high SWR on an
antenna that checks out fine and a dummy load. With the RF power level set
very low, the SWR behaves as expected, but as you increase the power to
around 5W, the SWR reading shoots up drastically and the power is clamped.
Naturally the antenna tuner isn't able to deal with it.

Does this "D" model have the grounding strap modifications completed? If
not that could be the problem.
