Larry,
It is difficult to judge what the output should be with the N-gen -
there are just too many variables to draw any valid conclusions from
that information.
I suggest that you back up a bit and align the bandpass filters in
transmit at a power level of 1 to 2 watts. Use the band order specified
in the manual.
Once you have done that, check the maximum transmit power available on
all bands. If any bands are low AND draw excessive current, then check
the low pass filter for that band.
Once you have good output power on all bands, then you can evaluate the
receive knowing that the bandpass and the lowpass filters are OK. (Do
NOT readjust the bandpass - the transmit peaking is the final adjustment
and if it is peaked for transmit, it will also be peaked for the receive
condition).
I know this is a bit 'backwards' from the manual, but at the point where
you are stuck, this is the best path forward.

I have continuned to test, using the Elecraft N-Gen the reciever
80M loud
40M very light
30M loud
20M slightly less than 80/30 but more than 40
18M same as 20M
15M same as 20M
12M very light
10M very light
(I have to get the parts and build the signal gen in the manual) before I
can go on with the trace. All are with in limits until I got the the LPF/BPF
& TR and Mixer IF Amp, and Crystals but I think that some decrease maybe due
to not enough signal strenght from the N-Gen..
