[Yaesu] FT-1000MP Antenna Tuner

[Jimk8mr at aol.com]

I have a FT-1000MP on loan from a good friend. Works great except the  
antenna tuner will not tune properly. It will search for a match, going  through 
both good and bad matches as it searches, and finally quits at what I  
think is some random bad match ( I suspect it times out on the search).  This is 
true even if tuning into a 50 ohm load.
 
My friend never used the tuner, so does not know how long this has been a  
problem, or if maybe forever.
 
Does anybody have any settings, menu items, or other suggestions on what to 
 try to get the tuner to work?
