So it looks like 2 rigs you have stuffed up now. Changing the finals to fix a receive issue is a great leap of faith. I am amazed it didn't work. You could consider welding the lids together to keep your fingers out of the these radios. Without the proper gear and smd soldering skills you will only make matters worse. Isn't there anyone in the local KK group who can reccomend a tech in NZ for you?

lol im a it tech of 30+ years and yes i have all the gear heat temp soldering irons plus the re balling air guns. the first 5555n was on my car dash on a 12 hr car drive in summer. cb got cooked even under a thick cloth. that blew finals and 46c reg so that board will be donate board it did power up on doner board till u hit transmit and blew the fuse. worked fine as long as you dont transmit but now its all striped down. i do have a loan rig thats a grant old style silver face as my washington 26mhz wont fit in my car. and im going to copy all the wireing and xtals to washington as the boards are the same. the lender gave 2 60amp power units to keep and fix them. ps all my home rigs run at 13.9v at 50 amps plus i have a 1000wts power unit as backup
i also fix computers/mainboards and plasma and led/lcd tvs over 50" and the odd 120" rear projector tvs. so nobody can say i dont have a clue what im doing im just a bit stuck on this cb plus i have fixed a few out of band 12 chn cbs.
i forgot to say we had a power spike when all the problems started

I'm not getting something, here. If you're a real tech, why not use a schematic and troubleshoot the damn thing?

Because, he is an IT tech. Not a radio bench tech. You don't have a clue as to what you are doing. Stick to TV's and board level swaps! You can have all the rework tools on the planet but, without an RF signal generator, you are going NOWHERE!

I hate to be nasty but sometimes I can't resist...Question for our techs..How does one throw a spear board?

 

[41KK407]

look all im asking is if somebody has the same problem i have how did they fix the problem. and im a computer it not a dam radio tech i prefer to keep my fingers out of cbs

Ok guys lets lighten up here a little, he is just asking for help and admits that he don't have a clue about cb radios, no reason to give him crap about it.

A schemo would really help in your case. There was once a video on the tube with a guy having a similar problem with the same radio. Turned out in his case to be a surface mount component with a bad solder joint on a pad if memory serves me right.

But the finals definitely wouldn't be a place to start.

 

[SuperLid]

I just need clarification. Is TX okay AM/SSB? Need to know if a common circuit is the problem here. If you are only dealing with a RX issue, I would start at the first RF amp in the RX chain. But, I am just guessing here, because I don't know enough about your radio.
