Just take a dummy load and hook it to the rig and see how it behaves.

Subject: [TenTec] omini 6+ & antenna question
> I'm using a Ten Tec Omni 6+. My antennas are a 17-meter mobile whip
> tuned for 20-meter with my mfj Versa Tuner II. My other antenna is the
> radiating element of a Mosely TA-33 jr beam used as a non-rotatable
> trap dipole and no tuner. My coax is about 30 years old. Here's my
> problem:
>
> When I transmit using over 15 watts, the S zero noise level I had
> before transmitting, pops up to an S 3 and stays there for about 30
> seconds after I stop transmitting.
>
> When I use 100 watts, at times my SWR pops way up and I must re-tune my
> whip antenna with my tuner.
>
> On rare occasions, after I stop transmitting, I have a very weak
> receiver. I must hit my dit or dah paddle on my cw paddles and my
> receiver pops up to a hot receiver again.
>
> What do you think is causing these problem? Arcing in my tuner? A bad
> TR relay in my Omni 6+? A bad antenna ground? RF getting into the
> rig? Bad coax? Or bad antennas?
