Where to start?...
I have completed the RX alignment. This did help increase the volume of the signal but it is still low. This did not change anything with the S meter, still sits at zero. When you inject signal at the antenna with a generator the s meter works?? I was listening to a gentleman right down the road hitting me +30 on my bench radio and nothing on this Robyn's S meter. His audio is extremely loud but the gentleman he was talking to was at 9+ on the bench radio but his audio was alot lower. Is my signal generator signal to strong maybe thats why the S meter works with it???

Next I clean the wax out of the two and contact trace cleaner on the VR's before I get started. I inject 1000hz tone into mic on USB as the book states. At this point I am only showing 1/2 watt output and so I thought it would work itself out as I tune for max. This did not work but as a result of the tune the AM TX at 4 watts , I can achieve 80-100% modulation in AM only. Now at 4 watts it has a negative response to modulation but if I turn it down to 2 wats it will forward swing to 3 watts.

What am I missing??
