John, I had similar problems for a long while which were all solved by removing the front panel, cleaning the 4 connectors and applying some electrical lubricant (Contralube) and re-assembling.
Good luck!

Just finished a QSO with J5UAP on 30m this evening and then switched over to 40m to pursue some more DX. When I got there, I wasn't able to get any power out. It showed 0.0W when I tried to TUNE (I have a remote tuner at the base of my vertical). I power cycled the radio and then received a multitude of errors upon power-up (including ERR IO1 and ERR PL1 among others). In addition to that, the fans were running (I have the 100w amp as well). I turned the radio off for a minute or so, and now the error has resolved. I've had the issue of the no power out when TUNE-ing in the past, but never this before.
