Great news, I fixed mine when I got the radio from a seller from eBay, like I said, he said it was working fine, but it wasn't, I had a old parts ft817 so I removed it from there, I am getting fed up

Good evening 2E0DMB Well in the end it was D3003. I replaced it and it started again. To disassemble the PA board, it is better to first disassemble the main unit because there are pins connecting the

Hi the bad thing with mine was I had just got it from eBay, obviously the seller said it was in perfect condition, I could have sent it back, under eBays contract, but it was a good price with a tuner

Hello and thank you for your response. I studied the schematic this morning and came to the same conclusion, it can only be D3003 or D3005. I located them on the layout and I have to remove the plate

Mike and the group, Thanks so much for link to McMaster, I definitely will be ordering from them, so much easier than directly from Japan. Very best regards, Rick VE1RNM [email protected]>
