In trying to improve the subject, I've assumed that you have no received 
signal, but I'm not completely sure what you mean by like not having an 
antenna connection.

Exactly what appears on the L*C*D screen is important, as one of the 
uses of the ELECRAFT display is to indicate exactly how far the rig got 
through the self test before failing. Unfortunately, the codes for this 
are not published. (There could be other reasons for a partial display,)
