Sounds like it might be time for a new radio unfortunately... If you cannot diagnose the problem yourself, then you would have to pay a tech to take a peak at it.. Not sure what that radio costs, but by the time you pay a tech and or whatever the cost is to fix it , you might be better off spending the money on a new radio.. Good luck.. Let us know how you make out..
Check the voltage on the gates of the fets. There should be a specified voltage in the tune up section. Should be no more than 5 volts maximum. If the voltage is too high that's what is blowing your fets. Many things can cause the voltage to be too high, open resistor or a shorted diode. If you give up my offer still stands!
Coax question. I just put up a new Sirio monsoon base antenna with 100’ of rg8u coax testing with myMFJ antenna analyzer shows 1.4 swr at 26.965mhz and a 1.1 at 27.405 mhz . When I checked the ohms it’s steady a 30 ohms across the entire bandwidth.
