[TenTec] Orion II won't transmit or receive

Do a battery reset by powering off and holding the VFOB LCK button and
powering on until it says "battery failure".

Then do a normal reset by holding the "Main RX/TX" button the same way.

Then do a power off and on one more time.

This clears everything.

until this morning.  When I came down and turned the rig on it looked fine.
But I can not hear any signals on any band with the main receiver.  And when
I try to transmit I get no power out at all.

The sub receiver seems to work OK.  The transmitter is NOT disabled in the
TX menu.

switch I may have inadvertently thrown?

connected directly to the antenna 1 connector.
