Good morning all,

I just went to use my backup radio as I do a few times a year, when I hooked it up, and powered it on all seemed fine until I tried to transmit with it. The rig keys but has 0 power output on all bands, I did look to see if the power was turned down but it was at 80% where I left it. I changed the antenna's and mic also with same results. I pulled the cover off to see if I had burned the finals, they physically look good, no burned smell to them at all.
Now my stupid questions are:

Can you actually destroy finals without any signs of damage?

Is there a way to them in the radio without removing them?

Could this issue be with the driver board and not the finals since there is no output on any band?

Should I toss this one and get something else?

I don't like the last possibility since I have owned this radio for a long time and it has special meaning to me. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you 

John
