Uniden Washington Keys Up, No TX & No RX

Post by Scarecrow »

This radio powers up but there is no RX and Tx... Keys Uo and Needle swings as you modulate but will not transmit and also will not recieve... On SSB Mode the needle doesn't move and still Has No TX & RX... Any help would be appreciated...

D60 is mounted between pin 2 of the MB3756 and 0V, it is on the track side of the PCB, it was a factory addition, to help protect the device, not all radios have it in place, if not add it.

It should be an 18V Zener diode.
