Well I got around to install a diode still no luck. I had some 1N914 which are supposed to be electrically the same. I ended up accidentally ripping one of the traces off that seems to lead to the relay. I drilled and installed diode. I installed annode to ptt1-2 (brown side). connected cathode side to c130. rarduino comes on. barely any noise came out of speaker even with antenna connected. then noticed c130 was smoking and melting into board. Does anybody know what capacitor I can switch that with?
Ps. If it sounds like I don't know what I'm doing it's because I don't but trying to look at the diagram and find the nearest point that it connects to solder to with the same polarity.
