Try shutting down both the radio and its power supply for about an hour and
see what happens...

just to let you know that I have tried everything suggested now except for
the removing of the front panel in vain.
Transmitter is ON, Transverter is OFF. There is a small consumption of ca 5A
when TXing and some very tiny signal seems to be going out but that is about
it. Meter shows nothing and it does not depend on mode or anything else. All
the resets done.
So I will either get inside removing the front panel or will send the radio
for repairs.

Tonno,
If all fails, before you send it for repair, remove the front panel and
loosen the logic/display boards from the keypad board as well as the logic
board from the display board. You do not need to take them apart. Then put
some contact cleaner on the connectors for the pins between the boards and
move the board out and into the connectors. This should clear any
possibility of oxidation on the pins. Go to
http://rfsquared.com/file_download/22 and download the PDF file on taking
the panel loose. The file is about doing the V2 mod for the Orion. You
only need to review far enough to remove the front panel. It has great
pictorials. I hope you find something easier than going this far, but it
does not take very long to do.

Have you tried switching the load to ANT 2 ? Is the power supply current
changing as you raise the power ????

yes, thanks. Keying loops are off and transmitter is ON. I do have the rig
going into TX and showing also 1.0 SWR all the time! Also the pot
indicator shows power but the meter does not and also nothing is going out
by external wattmeter. It shows 1.0 SWR also to empty antenna port. Thus
switching from ANT 1 to ANT 2 does not help.
I will try the recommended battery reset and will also check if the PS
current goes up at TX (I am quite sure it does not...).
I wonder how those guys solved it who have had this issue before?

Do you have the keying loops turned off and the Transmitter turned on
in the TX Menu?

Hi, I have lost any TX output from OII. Pwer can be turned up to 100w but
no TX out in any mode, everything else seems normal. RX seems to be OK. I
saw some messages in archives looking for solution to the same issue but
no cure. Tried Master reset and also reinstalled firmware, no change. Is
there anything I can try or should I send it to repairs?? Has it been
established what the problem is?
