Well I think radio is fixed after doing all the voltages and VCO checked as you all suggested, I turned radio so component side facing me. I started doing more checks and I was checking near the FET2 area and the radio came back on. So i pressed on board both ways and it went out again. Cold solder joint? Well I checked that area closely with a microscope and did not see any. I retouched all solder joints in that area and flexed the board both ways and seems to stay on. I do have a good scope and could not see and cold solder joints but glad its fixed.

Thanks to all who made suggestions.
