Well, L26 can be "borrowed" from a limiter - the L26 part itself just blocks some of the RF from going thru that 22 ohm resistor. In removing it, it will affect the power thru that section...
Do you have a 5.6uH to 6.8uH choke around?
Why?
Similar reason....that seems to be the APPROXIMATE value you need...put it in - in series with that resistor like you'd use the bead, just the Choke takes its place.
Seen this choke used directly (in value) in several other radio chassis in the cobra line, Realistic, and Midland.
This takes it's place in a 3 part divider system and the "bias resistor" is the one fed directly with RF but also provides the working value to take some of that NPN's Rectified RF power away from the junction and into this type of circuit...

It's RFC 303
To keep the description short, they use a ferrite bead, just to choke off the RF that would otherwise be lost to ground thru that 22 ohm resistor - they keep it to the feeder line to the Final.
The ~5.6uH to 6.8uH choke provides the DC drain-off to release otherwise pent up RF energy getting rectified, that can (and eventually will, without that DC short the Choke provides) make the Final "Latch" - it keeps it from blowing up. The 68 ohm Resistor and 330pF Cap serve to work as a selective filter to drain off the 2nd order and above harmonics arriving to and found within this strip.
As you can see that 3.3 (3R3) resistor is pretty low, and makes this part drive pretty hard, this value when you decide to experiment with it, you RAISE this ohmic value - and you'll see it drives less into Class C and more into an AB2 realm - but since you're "Class D" the modulation part makes the use of the AB2 realm more of a swing event. It's what you do when you mess with the JP36 as you'll find out soon enough looking for repair work out here in this forum. So for safety's sake, just use the 6.8uH in SERIES with that 22 ohm resistor.
IF you feel it's necessary to go the IRF 520 route, see attached...
