Frank, My best guess is the preamplifier on the RFE-board. Unless the schematic diagram is not recently updated, there are protection diodes (1N4148) before the input capacitor (C47) of the amplifier, so maybe they are broken, too. You possibly can repair it yourself. See these ECOs for help: <http://support.flex-radio.com/Downloads.aspx?id=102> <http://support.flex-radio.com/Downloads.aspx?id=109>
