Turned the radio on to QSO on CW this morning and I can't get any transmit power out. It won't tune to either antenna, one which is resonant . Won't even tune up to a dummy load. Zero output on all bands. I did the reset and have the same problem. Receive is fine.

    Thanks for your reply David. Touching the A or B didn't make it transmit power. It is keying and going into the transmit mode, just zero power out.

    If you can't get it, do a reset, if that does not work then do a factory reset,,,save your profile for that one.

    I held in the power on button until it turned white. That didn't fix the problem. What is the other method?

    I am going to try going back to v3.1.7 and see if that works.

    Ok, it sounds like you did a factory rest.

    That didn't make any difference. Still no transmit power.

    Is your radio in CW or Digital mode?

    How about Settings > TX Band Settings?  
    Are the RF PWR levels set to more than Zero?

    Yes, I went through all the bands going directly to a dummy load, clicking TUNE and sliding the power level all the way to 100, nothing out.  Returned it back to default 10 each time before going to test the next band.

    To expand on NE1B's comment, *closely* check your radio settings under Settings in SSDR.  My TX Band Settings suddenly changed a few days ago for an unknown reason.

    I checked them all on the front of the radio just now and set all transmit to 100 and tune 10.  Tried the TUNE button and no power out showing.  I will go back to the SmartSDR and see what those are but I think it will be the same result unfortunately.

    Yes.  It will go see the doctors at the Flex Radio hospital.
