Hi I am getting
q47 - 5.70v rx on drain gate 0.00rx - 3.75tx 0.00 on source
q48 - 5.56v tx on drain gate 0.00rx - 3.82tx 0.00 on source
of finals

q49 - 5.70v rx on drain gate 0.00rx - 3.90tx 0.00 on source
driver
I do have another radio on beside it and does show a carrier and when touch the drain on finals shows more of a carrier on other radio but no modulation. Meter on 98 shows no output like the other radio shows a little signal.
The amp is totally disconnected from radio. The amp is fine just the main board has no Tx power.

Looking at schematic I'm getting 6v to L31 and C200 but from C200 to c201-c202 and c197 not getting the 6v power? Would that keep me from getting Tx out? If I touch them other coils with meter lead it gets a signal reading on my other radio but no RF out?

Ok I got Tx back the L44-43-42-40 was out of align. But I still have no modulation? Plus I get a 120+ watt deadkey on SSB? Rx is fine. ic7 is good.
