Steve,

Is the selected antenna port (ANT1/2) connected to a dummy load?
Set the ATU menu to CAL and try again.
Check your coax - continuity check from end to end on center conductor 
and the shield.  Infinite resistance between center and shield.

If you still have problems with good coax, a dunny load and the correct 
ant port selected, the most likely problem is that diodes D1 and D2 may 
have taken a static hit - they are a bit "tender"
