The 2SA1012 is located right by the socket where you plug in your 12 volt source, on the back of the radio. It should look similar to a 2SA473, but labelled A1012.
Yes it is marked but TR44 is not marked TR42,43, and 45 are all right there. Guess thats why I was having trouble finding it. I really appreciate the help.
The GE69A is the same thing as a 2SA1012. That's the part that could be suspect. Remove that GE69A and replace with a 2SA1012, NTE153, ECG153, TIP30, or a TIP62. Any of those will work for replacements. Good luck!
Might try pulling TR-43/2SB525C and test it with the diode test function of your DVM. Had a similar problem on one radio I worked on awhile back. Using a schematic can help; just follow the path . . .
Pulled the Sb525 out and if I am testing it right it shows bad, so where is the best place to get one or the substitutes of 2sb809,bc327,bc328,bc666,bc638?
Dont really want to make a $25 order or deal with the ebay clowns for a $2 part.
Is it possible to be on a lake and have a homing directional beam being emitted from the shore so a person could navigate to that beam's source? For example at night to a jetty.
