Story of the radio is had a PA speaker outside supposedly the speaker got hit by lightning the radio turns on fine everything looks OK no transmit no receive. Q37 gets very warm and has 13.8 on all 3 legs. Was going to see if any one had any ideas? Pa jack has been removed? Was going to test for pa audio but missing jack. Thanks guys for all your help in the past!
 

Well since the post I have replaced q37 A1869, now I have a little side band audio but nothing on AM. Meter is at 9s units with no sound no audio on AM and very faint on sideband and no sound out of the speaker?
