Hello,

I just received my new K244XV in the mail today. I followed the instructions on how to install in my K3s (with a SN of 111xx). To a tee. I can adjust and see drive on the RF meter and it looks like I should be driving it to full power but through a W2 wattmeter into a dummy load, I have zero power out but it does draw about 3.5A when I press and hold the tune button for a very short time. I have triple checked all the TMP cables in and out of the KXV3A board and into the K144XV. I am getting power to the unit and two quick blinks of the LED of the XV when I power on the radio.

I have checked my menu settings and those are to spec per the instructions.




It seems to be drawing current and everything I set right from what I can tell, what am I missing?

TIA,

73
