Tommy,
This file in the Group's Files section shows RF levels at key points from the IF output to the Antenna output.? Typical ALC levels are also shown at the end:

?
Note that the RF levels were taken without the standard ground lead on the scope probe, but with a coiled spring ground finger that fits over the ground barrel near the tip of the probe.? Taking accurate RF measurements with a standard ground lead is futile!
?
Maybe this will help determine if the ALC output that controls the IF section gains is working.
