John, First of all something besides the final was bad which caused the new final to fail. The resistor is a good suspect. Do you have a scope? That would be a help in finding out if you need the "fi
One more thought - in audio equipment, often it's the driver transistor that fails catastrophically, taking the output transistor(s) with it. You might consider checking or replacing it along with th

Hooked to your antenna? Maybe. Doesn't hurt to check it while you're in there. 73, DUane Duane Calvin, AC5AA Austin, Texas www.ac5aa.com that might But I can hear myself from it within a half block
Ya, it was hooked to a mobile antenna on a mag mount on a cookie sheet on the dinner table ;-) You're right though, it doesn't hurt to check. Someone else, off list, said that it can be expensive to
Maybe you could hear your driver within a close distance. If the final failed open, but still had capaciance from base to collector, the signal might leak through. Do check or replace the driver alon
