I believe you are talking about an Exec II.
Several places to check before replacing the PA.
A common problem is the jumper between the exciter and the PA. The RCA
connectors sometimes go intermittent. Also, if the TR relay hasn't been
jumpered, it could have gone intermittent.

There are shield covers on the RX board that need to be pulled off and have

These style antennas are typically poor performers FYI. I wouldn't use it for
anything important. Cushcraft started the design with their "Ringo" series,
then several others copied the design. They were inexpensive, which was the
