I did open the unit back up to make sure the cables were seated properly - both on the RFIO board and the RX2 board. Now when I start up the radio it is like there is an attenuator in the rx line and the tx does not put out any power. Into a dummy load I show no power out on the watt meter, but the TX meter shows about 6 watts out and an swr of some crazy number like -689:1 that keeps changing. On rx the s meter shows about s5 for a broadcast station while the icom shows the same signal at 10 over. I suspect there is no antenna connected internally. The noise level sits around -135db when normally it is around -120db. Usually an AF of 10 is adequate now it is up to 60 and it still is not real loud. I even renamed the db and started SPDR to create a new db but no change. A real problem and I am going to bed now and perhaps tomorrow I will put the original RFIO board back in to see that works ok. Any thoughts here before I pull my hair out.
