Hi all

Some progress on the above radio, voltages are very close to what the 
manual states, but still no TX.

What should i see from the mixer board RF connector, i dont appear to 
see output drive on my Fluke meter feeding the RF amp?.

Found a leaky cap on the control board, all changed for the next range 
higher working and 105 degree working types.

Also found a mini relay 'hot melt glued' to a board, this had 2 x TX 
voltages wires (yellow) attached, or should have been, the soldering had 
not been done and the wires had broken free from the pins on the relay, 
the control wire was also soldered to the TX line, so cant see what it 
was supposed to do, i removed it and re-instated the wires correctly, 
unfortunately that didn't help the lack of TX.

thanks to all for comments so far, keep them coming please.

thanks
