HI, yes is working on RX real good, but doesn't move on TX, radio shows 10 watt dead key reading on the bird meter

check diode d-66 for open or short..d-66 is the rf meter detector...but first check vr-8 variable resistor to see if it is adjusted right..vr-8 is the adjustment for tx meter...if it has no effect check d-66..also check vr-8 for open condition..and also check to see if solder connections are good at vr-8..if all check good..then check c-164 for open condition

hi there...it seems i made a boo boo,,the diode for the rf detector is d-86 not d-66 i misread the schematic...
