[Elecraft] K2-no power output

I just finished installing the KDPS2 boards and they check out OK. I also have the KAT2 installed and it "was" working.

    I was going to operate today for the first time but when pressing TUNE, I'm not getting any power out. I have an external watt meter too. When I press TUNE, I see Atu on the right side of the LCD then it quickly flashes to 1.0-1 on the left side , then displays Lo  P. I've changed bands and frequency's up & down but do not here the relays in the antenna tuner "clicking" as before. I went through the various relays through the MENU and I can here each individual relay "click" just as I did when first testing the KAT2 option. Nothing on CW or SSB. I switched to ANT2 which is my Elecraft Dummy Load with the same thing happening so it isn't a problem with the antenna.

The KAT2 manual says that when this happens to increase the power which I did in steps up to 15 watts with no change. ????????  Am I missing a setting or does the KDSP2 board have something to do with this. I believe I installed the top cover correctly and have all the wires connected after installing the DSP boards.

Any suggestions ?
