Wouldn't you know it, right at the start of a three-day weekend...

Came home from work on Friday.  6+ had been "idling" all day (tha cats like 
to sleep on it).

No electrical events in the house or sky, but when I fired up to transmit, 
output was zilch (0.5 watts) on all bands (teeny bit higher on 15 and 10, but 
no more than 1.5 watts--could just be a non-linear power meter, too).

Receive sensitivity seems down, but my ears may be tricking me.

Antenna jacks clean, does it same on AUX antenna jack as on primary one.  Not 
in any way intermittent.

Any thoughts?  (Would like to troubleshoot rather than box it up to 
Tennessee, but I'll do whatever...)

73 & Thanks,
Bernie K5XS
