If the culprit is a 240 v line problem (socket faulty contact, or wiring 
fault), just keying the amp (not transmitting, no RF at all) would let 
the HV meter deflects very much lower than in normal condition. You may 
verify this measuring voltage drop at 240V socket when keying at the 
above stated condition.
