[Elecraft] KX1 - am I transmitting?

Just finished the KX1 this evening (yea!) and I ran into something
interesting as I got towards the end of the build.
I had forgotten to install C46 during part 2 (receiver construction) of
the assembly.
This didn't seem to affect reception at all, but I hope it didn't mean
that something was damaged in the meantime (read on...).
I finally put C46 in and everything seems to be fine. I tested the
receive capabilities this evening and tried to test transmit, but I'm
not sure if it's working or not.
I hooked up the KX1 to the DL1 (which was connected to my DMM) and keyed
up a few dits and dahs.
I didn't get any response on my DMM. I figured I would get a few V out
and that the DL1 would get warm. Nothing at all.
Boy, I feel really silly. I hope there's something really obvious that
I'm missing...because I just don't get it.
Thanks for all your help.
