Just to cover the bases, make sure you're not in transmit test mode.

Yesterday I was running some FT8 on 17 meters. All of a sudden
I noticed there was no output out of the amplifier. Then looked
at the radio it had the red XMIT light on and two dash marks in
place of SWR and said 0 Watts out. So disconnected every thing
except power and antenna switched antenna switch to dummy and
get the same thing on any band. Of course when you depress The
XMIT button it switches to CW. But I did hook a Mic up. With
the mic hooked up I got the red XMIT led with ALC on the
display I would see the ALC change as I was talking in the MIC.
But when I switch over to the display that shows RF out there
is no indication of RF. Is this something other people have
had. I realize it could most likely be multiple different thing
but would these indications narrow it down to a section of the
radio like maybe the 100 watt amp. Or something like that.
Thanks for all advice in advance
