Try other modes cw fm to check for output power.CW may have power out while fm does not,If no power out on modes that use voice this suggest a problem with mic circuit including modulation and or audio drive.This radio needs repair.Also as bill suggest check with a dummy load for power out..Antenna and feed lines should also be looked at just to be sure your station is able to radiate a signal.If you know a ham with a modulation monitor ask him to check your radio.
