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. :)
