Yep. amps@contesting.com  Sign up at contesting.com

Mine does not key from my FT 1000MP anymore. The trouble started recently.

Check that the DC control line between the MP and amp is still good (not pulled out, broken, etc.). With the amp in bypass, key the radio and watch that the SWR indicates "normal" for the antenna that you're using. Also, is there a menu or control setting in the MP that turns the amp key line on and off?

I used to use MPs, but sold them in '08 to buy K3s, and I've never owned an Alpha, so these ideas are pretty generic. :)
