Thanks Doug. ?
I thought that most of the parts looked like 1206, but I do see a few smaller (obviously 0805).

Receiver overload.? There is no AGC in these.? TO my ear the CW sounded a bit hard.
Try tuning in a really weak signal.
It could be the audio amp.... V3 or V4?

If you replace the failed device replace both with the same vendors IRF510.

Are they 1206 ??

Just replacing the IRF-510 devices may not be enough. Something caused the
