Hi You must set the power control to about 1/2 scale and hold the tune button to get into tune mode then as you tune L1 and L2 as the power comes up readjust the power pot up or down a little to make the MPU re-measure the power. You should reach a point where L1 and L2 will peak. If this does not work and you got a peak when doing the receiver test earlier then you have a problem in the transmitter somewhere. Usually a bad solder joint on a toroid or a missed solder joint. Look at the relays it is easy to miss pin one on the relays as they look like feed throughs

I am at the 40-meter transmitter alignment stage in Alignment and Test, Part III. It instructs me to "Place the K2 into tune mode and activate the built-in wattmeter by holding "TUNE". Using the alignment tool, adjust L1 for maximum output." And, do the same with L2, etc. etc. etc. <SNIP> Any direction would be appreciated. This build has checked out on every step to date...but I'm stumped.
