Could be fake. There are 3 different combinations of finals for this radio. 1306, 1307 is 1 combo, another is 2020 and 2098. The 3rd I can't recall.off hand. I have about 100 radios here in the shop. I could pull a set of known working ones from another rig but at this point I think there are other issues with it. The transistors test over 135 hfe and voltages seem ok. If the Chinese can create fake Hfe thats amazing. I know that they did it with ram. I have no respect for anyone making fugazi parts for anything but thats a whole other story. Im going to see what happens if I can get some RF measurements. This radio had a blown 2098 when I got it. Im gonna try a 2078 and see what happens. Im working on multiple radios now. Most problems is over tweaking and messing with calibration not using proper test equipment. Typical CBer bs. Thanks for the help. Appreciated.
