Except that 10 meters was mentioned my first check would be that the audio level is set wrong for digital modes. For Elecraft radios, audio level should light up 4 bars on the ALC Meter with the fifth bar flashing. This will provide a proper audio drive to properly modulate the transmitter and provide a clean signal. Set output power with the PWR control.
