Depends on the brand and availablity of parts. have dummy load can repair.
 
You can also send it into Ameritron/Mirage/MFJ and they will repair it. I'd be willing to bet that it wouldn't be too terribly difficult to repair if you tried to do it yourself.
 
You probably just blew the final transistors on it. Did you open it up to look for any other "burnt" parts? Replacing the finals is easy, assuming you have a good soldering gun.

I did a little digging around and found that the replacement transistor you'll need is the 2SC2782. That amp uses a pair of finals, right? RF Parts has these for $31.75 each.
 
Thanks for the information Moleculo. One of the hams i talk to on 2 meter says he can fix it so i'm going to let him look at it when i get a chance. I'm in no hurry as i dont have the money to repair it right now anway.
