Re-check the displayed power please - if it says 0.2 watts instead of 2 watts, there is actually no power at all - the 0.2 watt indication is residual in the power measuring circuits (a.k.a. noise) and at a glance it is easy to interpret as 2 watts.
As Gregg stated, the most likely first 'attack' is D9 and the T/R switch components - arbitrarily replacing the diodes would be a sensible action because some may work now only to fail later, so it is inexpensive insurance (1N5711 and 1N4007 diodes are not costly). 73, Don W3FPR > -----Original Message----- > > I've been thru this and found that most of the damage was to the > reflected/forward power measuring circuit and the antenna > switching diodes. > I would start there. > > Gregg R.
