The problems I am experiencing is.

 

High amp draws on 20m 15m, and 30m with little or no RF output.

It works a little better on 17m and 12m, amp draws is higher then normal and
low rf out

Works fine on 160m, 80m, 10m, and 40m with normal rf out put  ( 95 watts CW
or AM)

Test was performed on a MFJ Dummy load. It happened all at once I found it
out when I attempted to tune it for 14.320

SWR has been kept under 2.0 

 

Yaesu FT  840 has been use very little I bought new back in 1992, Just
unpacked it in November of 2007. I seem to work fine out of box.
