?Can be tested using an OHM meter for catastrophic failure. ?You can look for a you tube on that. ? It’s pretty straight forward. ? I also have a small transistor tester

After replacing the local repeater antenna at PA-001, I set up for SOTA. Sent a few CQ's, but then let the smoke out. :(
It's a QMX. Has been working fine for almost a year. I suspect the BS170 finals. Anyone have suggestions on how to test them ?
