I did a lot of research (or so I thought) before making the modifications to my DX-949 and now I have no output at all. I followed the instructions from firebreather about removing Q39 and adjusting VR14 and so on... After firing up the radio, I realized that the power meter and SWR meter are going straight to zero when keying up the mic. So, after digging a little further, I realized that this 949 has the EPT069611A (supposed to be in the DX939) board and not the EPT06960Z that everybody thinks it does. My question is this, will removing the Q39 transistor cause the problems that I am having, or is something else really screwed up? Thank you in advance.
