Needing the value and/or source for part.

RX works on USB and LSB
Absolutely no receive on AM. Needle does not move and no RX audio. What info can I provide?
Somebody was in it because the clarifier is open.
Side Note: VR13 does not affect SSB audio/power and is over modulated. AM audio is perfect on the scope. Q39 Limiter is in tact.
I don’t want to spend much time dinking w/ this $150 radio but maybe someone has experienced the issue and the fix can be quick and painless.

No AM TX but plenty of power on FM. Receive works. PA works. I accidentally discovered a small signal at 27.120 regardless of which channel it’s on when I looked up at my bench radio. Signal then checked on spectrum analyzer reading at coax-out and it shows up….low, but it’s there.
TP3 is on...
Radio is about 10 years old. I think all these radios were dim and Galaxy made a change recently. I’m not sure but the new ones are brighter.
It’s hard to read the channel and frequency. 8.5 volts going to this plug coming from the dimmer knob. Is there a simple mod to brighten up the lights?
No transmit. Receive works properly (S9 reading w/ 100 microvolts input) but virtually no receive audio - maybe 2%.
Upon keyup, TX light changes to red but the receive continues to receive. Nothing changes but the light.
PA works. No talkback.

Galaxy dx-959 RF Power-Modulation-SWR switch not changing meter functions.
The meter function is stuck on Power even when switched to the SWR or MOD position. The switch itself is changing continuity between legs so the switch itself seems to be working. All wires from point A to point B...
Looking at buying one and viewing ads on eBay. Two of the listings show the unit with a frequency counter or a spectrum analyzer.
What is considered “within tolerance”?
One listing shows the signal is 3,654Hz off.
The other listing says it’s “calibrated” but the spectrum analyzer shows...
Radio had very low rx audio and talkback. Now it’s completely gone. Tested the Pa and it has no audio either.
Tx is good. Rx is good, according to meter.
Please let me know if there is anything other info I can provide to help. Ranger 3600-15C board. Audio chip is the 5 pin 2003. Voltages...
Something must have changed. I thought the service menu was entered by holding down menu/mode. It no longer appears to be the case. My last batch was purchased 2 months ago. This one was purchased last week. Maybe I’m losing my mind.
Does anyone know how to enter the service menu?
PS not...
Radio keys up constantly (with or without a microphone). Besides that, everything works. A quick check of PTT pin 3 does NOT show a short to ground.
What info can I provide for further help?
