If the relay "chatters" when you keyup in ssb, check to see if C179 is shorted. This will prevent the unit from transmitting.

the 1969 and 1307 are swapable... I have done it a few times... I have even seen the 2166 used in it's place
Thanks a million for the info , mr_fx. Now , between the two, which one be the more rugged , the 1969 ? I also found C179 which I intended to remove, that is until I flipped the radio over and saw the underside of the board. My first thought was , "Forget it" I saw a webpage on the Realistic 458 that C179 could be removed and left out completely. Aso, the 1307 does not like 16volts, replace 1307 with a MRF455 , no more blown finals. Any ideas on that ? This is my first attempt at repairing my own radio, so I appreciate any and all replies.

Probably the driver or the final transistor.
This is not unusual.
Also - check/replace C179 - IIRC.
