Ah Ha!!!  I found my problem!  The mics were set for low impedance 
rather than high.  I made the adjustment and I'm now modulating. 
However, I find that my Heil phones really can't hear a monitor signal. 
  I can begin to hear myself if I crank up the compress to maximum 
smoke...likewise the mic gain.

But bottom line is that I'm out of the woods and have a working radio.

Thanks for offering help to all.

Have a good night...
