Couldn't wait till morning on this as it was on my mind this evening. I unplugged the Thunderbolt from the wall and plugged it back in. Immediately the frequency counter attached went from 9.9999..... to zero then when it was powered back up went to the other side of 10 MHz at 10.000.... and "Disciplining" came up on the control program. I measured the voltage on the coax and it was 0.5V. So no voltage out to antenna. I do have one of those 6V max polyphasers but we did get some really close strikes recently. I've had to change the Oncore UT Plus receiver board once in my Datum Starloc II and it was easy. Hope this is a similar Motorola Oncore. I'll open it up tomorrow and see. I need to find a better source of the Oncore UT Plus modules rather than waiting for the Chinese slow boat.
