Still no tx or rx on new K3

K5SM
Help! I am still stuck. My new K3 (just finished partial assembly to
K3-10 stage) does not transmit or receive. I discovered this yesterday
when I tried to do the TX gain calibration. It failed (due to 0 output).
I think hooked an antenna to Ant 1 and found I had almost no receive
either. I can receive very strong signals but they are very weak on the
K3. The ATU is installed and enabled as is the transverter io board. I
have not installed the 100w amp, the second rx, or the 2mtr xvtr yet.  
What might be causing this? I am really frustrated that my new radio is
fighting me in this way.

Save yourself some time and contact k3support at elecraft.com.  You will deal with a true professional (Gary Surrency AB7MY) who knows the K3 inside out.  He'll save you a lot of wild goose chases which you might take otherwise.
