    2517 no receive meter is stuck at 9s HELP

    Ok got some free time this morning, I tested voltages on q36 have 5 volts at base and q42 base 4.7v ,collector 4.1v, emitter 4.2v, these two don’t seem right pulled transistors and tested good. Also tested Voltages q43 q44 q16 all tested good, as for the pa jack I tryed but don’t think I have pa.

    Ok this morning I pulled diodes and found d77 bad... replaced now everything seems to work except rx audio? Meter is working talk back does not work, don’t know if that has something to do with the rx audio.. but transmit audio is good and rf power is good! Dang I’m so close

    2517 no receive meter is stuck at 9s HELP

    Ok I have 1.5 volt on my collector on q33 I did replace this transistor and it stared transmitting.. I’ve been testing transistors since the post I’ve found q55 q51 q33 all bad... I think something is funny with q33 Base should be 8 V, collector 0 V, emitter 8 volts, I have 1.5 on my collector...

    Something else I noticed when the squelch is turned all the way up the meter drops but no sound out of the speaker... I do see the meter move when signal generator is flipped very weak but I see about 2s units

    Ok got a few of these radios trying to get one working, story to this radio there was an outdoor PA speaker and the speaker was hit by lightning, PA Jack is removed.. originally had nothing at all no Rf power and no receive. I have replaced q51 q55 Q37, powered it up and was stuck in transmit...

    I think you might be right about the caps being short on each pad???

    I got the radio with no finals they were in a bag so this is maybe a possibility I see the extra pad with the no banded side of the diode going to the pad that runs to the biasing vr
