OK?
1. ?I’m assuming you were able to adjust the idle current with the bias potentiometer and get expected results. If not, then there could be a DC disconnection somewhere in the power amplifier stage.
2. ?Those four metal cans to the left of the power amplifier stage are the driver stage. They should get pretty warm or even hot within 15 seconds if you put the radio into any single side band mode and key the microphone. Even if you don’t say anything. If they don’t, then there is some problem with the DC connections to the driver stage.
3. ?Do you have any other means to measure the output of the transmitter? A SWR meter or anything similar? If so, try to get some kind of a read on whether there’s any real power coming out even if it is only 100 Milli Watts or so. ??
Do you hear anything in another receiver tune to the same frequency? Usually, you’ll hear something if there’s any real power out put
4. ? Do you have a voltmeter?

It receives fine. I can hear everything that it should with an antenna.

When I transmit in any mode I see that it looks like it is transmitting on the screen but it shows 0 watts and 1.0 SWR. Doesn't matter what mode I transmit on.?
