It doesn't put out anything on any band or in any mode! I'm usually pretty
sharp with this stuff and can almost always figure it out, and several of
you are just plain brilliant with these things, and if collectively we can't
figure it out, then, I don't think anyone can. I just wrote a message to R&L
Electronics explaining the situation and pursuing sending it back for
service.

Does it only do this on 60 meters?

Well, I have checked and double checked absolutely everything, and I just
cannot get this TS-590 transmit to put out one single watt. I checked
everything anyone of you suggested and have gone completely through the
manual checking everything that could remotely be a possible problem. I
double checked the power supply, and it is putting out exactly 13.8 volts,
and it is a 28 amp supply which is more than sufficient. I connected it up
to a dummy load just to see what would happen, and nothing changed. The
receiver mutes and the receive/transmit light changes from green to red when
in transmit like it should. So, regretfully, it looks like this transceiver
is headed back to R&L Electronics or wherever I have to send it to be
repaired. I have owned several Kenwood transceivers over the years, and I've
loved them all, but this is the first one I have ever had any problems with.
