[Elecraft] [K3] internal 144NHz xvrtr - no output

I am stumped. I finally got around to installing a FM filter so I could work
2 meter FM. All went well and the K3 receives fine on 144. However I cannot
detect output on FM (or any other mode) on 2 meters. The K3 shows RF out of
8 to 10 watts on the rig's meter, but there is no output registered on my
external PWR meter running to a dummy load. I have changed coax jumpers and
tested them and the PWR meter on my IC-2300H at low power and everything
works.

On the air I can hear FM signals (both from the local repeater and my
handheld working simplex in the shack), but I cannot trip the repeater or
even detect a signal on my handheld when I key the K3.

I have gone through the menu setup and everything looks like it is correct
(I am not in test mode and I am not inhibiting transmit.) What am I missing?
Help would be greatly appreciated. 73  ..mike  AI6II
