Hi Richard,
?
Based on this new information, I would verify the Q70 DC operating point:
?
?
According to Raj's (VU2ZAP) sheet, the base should be 0.6 to 0.7 volts, and the collector should be 1.6 to 1.7 when receiving.
?
If Q70 is correctly biased, verify that C50 and C51 are not opened.? I do this test with a metal tweezers touching both sides of the cap with the radio on.? You should hear an AC hum.
