The receive in this unit works excellent. when I key the microphone and watch the needle on the meter the needle goes from the middle of the meter to zero. When I unkey the needle goes back to the middle of the meter where it was originally. Any thoughts?

What mode of operation are you in as LSB & USB will show no carrier until you talk into the mic the needle should remain on zero. On am depening on the RF power setting will determine how much the needle moves. Also what frequency are you trying to tx on and is the radio capable of transmitting on that frequency? There may be more but these are some of the simple ones. Check your rf power

    Strong (G3) Storm in Progress
    March 23, 2023 @ 14:45 UTC (UPDATED)
    Not the best of timing for aurora sky watchers across northern Europe and North America, however a moderate (G2) geomagnetic storm is currently in progress. A watch for Strong (G3) conditions has been added. The Bz component of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) has been tipped south, a condition known to fuel geomagnetic activity around the polar zones. Stay tuned for the latest updates. UPDATE: The strong G3 storm threshold was reached at 14:46 UTC. ALERT: Geomagnetic K-index of 7 Threshold Reached: 2023 Mar 23 1446 UT Synoptic Period: 1200-1500 UT Active Warning: Yes NOAA Scale: G3 - Strong
