    Check your antenna selection in Smart SDR. Sounds like you are transmitting into nothing. Also antenna tuner possibly.

    Steve, Let’s check several things. I apologize if they seem trivial but it’s important to eliminate possible cause of no RF power, 1. TX Antenna (the red selection) is on a proper antenna 2. In radio settings you do not have TX Inhibit selected 3. The RF power level is set maximum 4. Set mode to CW. Try tune and MOX If none of these settings fix the issue then perform a hardware reset. https://helpdesk.flexradio.com/hc/en-us/articles/360020078612-How-to-Completely-Reset-a-FLEX-6000 If it still doesn’t work then open a help desk ticket. Please let me know the outcome. 73 Mack W4AX Alpha Team

    Check the cable. It sounds like a connector intermittent. Bob

    WOW!  What does that have to do with his problem and he states that it worked with his Kenwood. FYI, FS-301 was 'made' by Siltronix/Swan
