What is the voltage at the Emitter and Collector of TR40 in TX and TR44 in RX also, what are the voltage at Pins 1 and 3 of IC4 and the voltage at each side of D4?

It is most likely you will need a new AF amp IC6 (KIA7217).
You will most likely find diode D55 by the power socket has gone south and maybe D56 also.

rick can't find tr40 or tr41 or d4 ck d55 d56 ok yesterday the channel light came on and when I ck ic4 volts were good now I re checked it and they are
pin 1 1.185
2 13.5
3 .606
4 0 all wrong according to chart
5 13.5
6 .078
7 .078
8 .10

but I haven't done any thing to it all I did was unplug it and leave it alone?

The diagram I have for your radio is the wrong one. Do you have a copy of the diagram?
Is IC4 a MB3756?

rick I think that is the # the diagram I have shows tr40, tr41 also but it isn't there??? I have never messed with these before most of my stuff is 29s but I'am pretty good at finding parts on the board but can't find them..

I did ask is IC4 an MB3756, if it is so then replace it and the AF Amp IC6.

See my diagram it may help you see how the MB3756 voltage reg works in the Cobra 148 GTL
