Do you have a SWR meter? Or a watt meter?
Need more details please...

No output but receive is fine usually = bad final transistor. You can check this by using another radio close by or on the bench like a handheld transmit with the non functioning radio and see if you get a slight signal on test vradio or receive radio.

Sounds like you are only transmitting on the driver transistor, possible blown final.

Exactly
