Here was a relatively straight-forward repair & alignment job. During transmitter alignment it was found that there was a dry joint which was duly dealt with. The other snag was the TX LED had failed. This is common on this chassis across all brands. They are a 3mm type & a swine to fit.
After service the radio produced a full 4W output & receive was 0.45uV for 12dB SINAD.
