I have an ICOM IC-7300, which is seven years old. Today, the 40-meter conditions on the Beehive Utah Net (7272KHz, 12:30 PM Local time, daily) were terrible, so I used CW to check in instead of LSB. I had absolutely no power output. I had used the same rig on an 80-meter net the previous night, but used LSB, and everything was fine. Initially, I thought to myself, "Darn, I think I lost my finals, because I could hear only the oscillator (actually, I'm not sure it was the oscillator...but a buzzing sound) when I transmitted."
After calming down, I began to investigate. The facts are: there is no output on CW or Digital modes (FT8, WSPR). However, there is full output on AM, FM, & SSB. I am at a loss for a solution.
Does anyone have any suggestions about what could cause this? I have had absolutely no problems (except operator error 😄) until this glitch. Thanks in advance for any help.
NOTE: THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN SOLVED. SEE MY COMMENT TO THE FIRST COMMENT. THANKS TO ALL.
