Looked at the reported transmit signals in the spectrum.
Here is CW sending dots, same current draw as SSB PTT with no audio input, no RF output power seen

Next LSB with low audio, also no RF output power

Finally LSB with louder audio, seeing some RF out

I don't know what the units are on the display but it looks like it needs a higher input level than it's getting to drive any RF. The operating manual says:
"?Increase the MIC setting until you are covering 6 horizonal divisions (see the picture below). This is standard setting for the modulation.", but the CW signal appears to only cover 4. [and no pic]
