Texas star 350 problem Techs?

[pumphouse]

I have a texas star 350 HDV. There are three buttons on the front- The RED for on, The WHITE for rec amp and the GREEN for dial a watt. When I press the GREEN button in with the box ON, the receive level goes way down- like its acting opposite of a rec amp. When i press the WHITE button for receive, nothing happens- the receive neither goes up of down it stays the same meaning that i can hear people normally. The transmit works fine on high gear and the dial a watt works okay too. Just to make sure, i changed the transmit and receive transistors 2N4125's and replaced with 2N4401's. Nothing happens- still the same problem. The amp has never been worked on and it was bought new.

Anyone know if this is a common problem with texas stars?
How do you fix this?

Any help would be appreciated

2n4401

first off, take out the 2n4401's that you installed, and replace them with 2n2907's
then post your findings on here.

Ok. Amp works now! Replaced with (2) new 2N4025's. I guess the 2N4401's didnt work properly. Texas star must of changed its circuitry as this is a newer model.
