Further update...I dont have a telegraph key, but I used a jumper to (momentarily) ground the cw key connector.? I got cw tone in the speaker AND over 5 watts output indicated on the MFJ meter.??
Is it safe to say that its more likely I'm having a problem with the microphone than the relays?? CW output appears to travel across the same relays as SSB voice.? I have an oscilloscope and multimeter...is there a simple test I could do to see if I have a bad microphone element?
