I'm trying to resurrect a Superstar 120 and need some help troubleshooting.
The radio receives, no transmit modulation.
I have a carrier (as seen on the scope) and frequency at the antenna jack, when keyed it also moves the needle on the bench radio.
I removed and tested the final and even swapped one out to test, but still no mod.
It has a pc-548 board, I know back when they came out I think there were 3 models.
Note: one thing I did notice is that it has a green tx light and a red rx light, and when keyed the green light goes out and the red rx light lights. I would think the green tx light should go to red.Not sure if that's normal.
Any help would be appreciated.
 

Hi Sonoma, Thanks, the radio does not have a pa jack or pa switch. I guess what I am looking for is a starting point and a place to find the correct voltages. Where I'm confused is that I have the frequency at the antenna jack and it changes when I change channels, but no mod.
I'll see what I can figure out from the diagram.
