I fear I have major problems.  I did as Steve suggested.  I found a
clear frequency and switched the rig to cw.  I pushed the transmit
switch located above the mic up and then pressed the buttons on my watt
meter.  Everything was 0 watts.  I pressed the button next to the speech
button for the frequencies since I thought this was the general
coverage/ham bands button and no change.  I even turned the knob for the
mic gain and the one for watts of power and no change.  I am probably
missing something.  I'll probably have to wait a few weeks for my dad to
come by and help.  I don't know of anyone around here that I can get to
help.  I'll probably will look through the manual and see if anything
jumps out at me.
