"First Post" Not sure if this is the correct place to post this one.
Radio stopped transmitting. Found R58 and driver burned. Replaced R58 and driver. Powered up and had .5 watts DK and some swing. Had it on about a half hour and something around VR5?? smoked, now driver is out again. The only other problem I found was a broken trace where JP36 ties into L16, repaired that. Replaced driver and powered on, driver out again. Could that broken trace have caused the driver failure the first 2 times? and possibly knocked something else out.
