Are you by any chance in "TEST" mode??

If so the "c" and the underline on the display will be blinking and you'll
get no power output. 

Hold the MODE button to return to normal operation.

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 ?
