OK, here is an update on this radio, It now functions correctly but there are other issues that I'll start another thread over. I did replace one cap (C512). I'm not sure that it was the cause of the radio being stuck in transmit but the cap was bad. I also reflowed a bunch of the board as there we so many solder issues that I could not let it go. Lastly, someone tried to do the clarifier mod and they shorted D68 and JP275. I reversed the clarifier mod.

As an FYI on documentation. I could not find a service manual for this radio but I did find that the info for the Galaxy DX 98VHP we mostly the same. The 98 has a built-in amp so there are some differences in the alignment.

Now onto the next 99v2 thread where I can ask about the transmit power issues.....
