[Elecraft] New K144XV module installed no power out..

[Randy Diddel]

Hello Henk,

I will break out the multimeter today. I finished putting it all together late last night and was too frustrated to go any further.

Also,  I hear nothing and the S-Meter literally has no activity but I can hear static.

Thanks for the tips and I will reply back once I have checked the cables for shorts.
