So, I replaced the dual diode with two 1n60 observing polarity and checking continuity at the unused pads before starting. Now it would not power up until I disconnected the PA power line. I had to power the PA separately to get the board and Raduino to come on. While testing the PA current levels, it was more than 200mA constant. And I mean constant. Not even a jump on the watt meter when keying the mic. The only other thing you need to know is, I adjusted the Bias while listening to the TX signal and it shutdown the last time I ran it. Just like it did after changing the PA and had to turn it down 25% to run. Come on Jerry, you got any more ace's left??
