SSB has no carrier, it's all modulation driven watts. If the 979 has RF power control turn it all the way open, same for the mic gain. Now go to 38 LSB and let her rip, the meter should swing.

If you still have no power output double check your settings, and maybe try a different mic. After that send it in for a new one.

A quick note, AM, USB,LSB,and FM are all different modes of talking on the same frequency. AM has a carrier or, dead key, and when you talk your watt meter will show a peak swing. USB & LSB have no carrier, it's all modulated wattage. FM is all carrier with no swing on a meter.
