The receiver and transmitter both appear to be 'weak'. The one thing they share that can cause this is the drive level from the radio's frequency synthesizer. This signal is typically called the local oscillator, or "LO". If it's weak, both transmit and receive will be. Choke point for this is the slug-tuned coil L16. If its slug shows the "flush with the rim" position when it's peaked, this is holding back the radio's performance.
