Just completed building the KXAT1. I believe I successfully passed each alignment step.

1) No "---" when selecting ATU
2) Hear relays switching as I move through L0, L1, ... N1, N2
3) Adjust C9 until a dc volt value of 0.01 on the meter.
4) When I "tune" into a dummy load or a descent antenna (e.g. Alpha Delta
DX-EE), I hear the relays clicking and get an r of 1.2 or so.

However, I don't get any RF reading on the display when transmitting. To check
that I was really getting out, I hooked up my  W1 meter and it shows
about 1 watt of power out using 12 volts from my power supply.

Any thoughts about why I wouldn't see anything on the display?

Thanks,
