Hello Hans,
Sorry to hear about your problem.
When transmitting inot a 50 ohm dummy load, I would suggest that you first
measure the RF power actually reaching the dummy load in case the RF/ALC
indicator is misbehaving. If you do not have a RF Power Meter (Inline
type), then a diode detector plus a DMM would be suitable. The K2 kit
includes the parts for a diode probe/detector. The probe should be
connected at the dummy load via a coaxial T connector.
The diode probe and DMM will give you the RMS voltage appearing across the
dummy load.

It appears the transmitter is now gone dead. Admission: I murdered it

Where do I start to look. - When "transmitting" into a dummy load the
RF/ALC indicator
shows that all is normal.
I's not. Unfortunately.
Remorsefully yours
