Good news, the radio club president (KR3LL) and friend works at Kicker and took my LCD module and de-soldered it after which I was able to complete the assembly. It all fits in the case and aligns perfect. I was able to tune it fine. However I'm not getting any RF power out, I can receive fine when connected to an antenna. Do you have any recommendations for tracing the issue?

Rough day for most activators no matter the band. Even tough for operators. Still nice to enjoy a beautiful day.
