Still the most reliable cb radio on the market. About 1 in every 2000 comes back for repairs - unless, of course, someone takes the lid off and cracks the ceramic pots.
Rf gain max. Turn off anl/nb. With volume cranked, do you get any white noise?
Normally, I start w/ seeing if moving wires or flexing the board results in the sound coming back. If so, it’s normally pretty easy to track down the problem. If not, there are guys here better at troubleshooting...

TX Mode Voltages: 2.6/1.9./1.1/2.6/0.0/7.6/2.1/5.0/7.7
Note: When I lift the legs to L21 - which are on the same trace as ic3 pin 6 - pin 6 goes to 0.6v it will unkey...
I’ve been out of town. Hopefully, I can have this done before I leave again. Fortunately, it’s not time sensitive.
Removed R70. No change. Will continue w/ your additional instructions….
