That's great, thanks for sharing your success with us. I suspect you're right about saying it was for an FT-817.
Glad she's up and running, enjoy!

It was easy. Desolder two small coax cables, power jumper, ground jumper and other ground. Tack solder a wire to the pad the positive jumper connected to and put a milliamp meter in line. Set the radio to 1.8 Mhz CW. I used a dummy load. Press ptt and adjust the pot on the right to about 42 ma when ptt pressed. Move to the left pot and adjust to about 82ma. Remove the wire and put the positive jumper back. I did add sone heatsink compound to the board before I screwed it to the heatsink. Look at the videos mentioned for details. I used to do tv repair years ago. This is much easier than pulling the smt fets that I couldn’t find anyway. Just be careful with heat and touching other pads or parts.
