Are you seeing output when you talk? Shouldn't the Carrier/ output control be clockwise for full power? it is on all my yasue ,icom ,kenwood radios. Counter clockwise is the lowest setting on all modes.

This is a Kenwood TS130S...I was told that for CW carrier should be turned up and mic down, but for fone turn mic up and carrier all the way down. Is that incorrect? The guy I bought it from was almost exclusively a CW guy and may have been wrone on the carrier for fone...
And yes...I am seeing the needle on the meter swing with modulation. Not with a silent keying of the mic, however.
So...my ca;lling for the last two days has been wasted breath...I've been calling @ zero watts?
Is the power control proportional? Is full counter clockwise 0 watts, full clockwise 100 watts, and straight up 50 watts?
I had a ts-130 about 30 radios ago and that is how I remember it. Just checked the manual on line and it does state effective on cw only. I might be wrong! I purchased mine second hand as well and it could have been modded.Either way turn it up and see what happens on the meter.
Hearing a "Ray Johnson" in LA but can't get his call...I think he's hearing me but can't pull anything I say out.
Several around Memphis on 310 but I can't get 'em to hear me.
