K3 Tune works, XMIT button produced no power.

[Larry Lopez]

transmit power is set to 10 watts.
mode is AM, but that doesn't seem to matter.

When I press tune into a dummy load/swr meter, it tunes normally:

   The K3 shows swr and power on it's meters.
   external swr meter show power also.
   swr is 0.0 on both the K3 and the external swr meter.
 

When I press xmit:
   The K3 shows swr nothing,   power shows one bar.
   Also, power does not show on an external swr meter.

I have no clue.

I was testing an old S2-30 antenna tuner into a dipole.

The antenna SG-230 tuner is completely out of the circuit now.

Clarification:

I press the tune button and it tooks.

When I press the the xmit button little happens.

When I press and hold down the xmit button it goes into permanent rune mode
and it show output and swr just fine on the K3 and the swr meter.
