On my Drake I can tune up fine.  But I get no power when I key the mic.  I know the mic is wired right because it has worked in the past.  When the selector is switched to tune I get full output on the watt meter.  I can hear the relay when I key the mic just no power in am or cw.  Any hints?

The sideband selector must be in the lsb X position for CW and AM operation.

There are three pots, two on the right toward the rear and one on the rear panel. These are for adjustment of vox and cw delay operation. I can't remember which one, but if one of them is all the way to the stop, the transmitter will not key. Play with those pots as you try to key the transmitter.
