Re: Circuit description around PS and its supply¡
So I have had a bit of a dig around; Q507 is fine, as is Q508 so it looks like the finals failed due to being over-stressed by a calibration cycle...why this should occur I am not clear but hopefully

Re: Manual tuner selection?
I have good luck with my ZM-2 ATU.
Google EMTECH... they come as a kit or pre-built.

Re: Manual tuner selection?
Did you try tuning using the Tune/SWR mode?? In that mode, QMX uses reduced power and turns off the swr protection. That may work with your LDG tuner.

Re: Circuit description around PS and its supply¡
You should check Q508 in RX and TX mode (voltage at S, D and G). To cut the high current lift a leg of L502.
A broken Q508 could be a dangerous load for the PA and may affect the RX path.
