[Kenwood] TS-520 No output!...Now all is good!

Tom,Glad you figured out the problem. When troubleshooting a transmitter it’s best to use a dummy load, ideally one with a built in wattmeter, going directly from the rig to the dummy using a short straight coax jumper. That avoids causing any interference on the bands and eliminates any confusion with coax switches, incorrect  meters, etc.

 Hello to all that responded!
A BIG THANK YOU for all the wise suggestions.
It stinks getting old! It was my own operator malfunction that made me think it had a problem when it was me that did! The rig is fine and works as it should. I had grabbed the wrong feed line and was not going through all the metering that I thought I was, but rather going straight to the antenna. No wonder it tuned like it should and the bridge/watt meter were dead! 
Won't be making that mistake again!!!
Thanks again for all the suggestions.
Tom
PS. I feel dumb but wiser now. :)
