Re: cobra 148 gtl no tx in am rx ok.
Do you have the exact circuit diagram for the radio, I do not have a very good one for the KEPC-332, it is only just readable in places.
I would say to check (in order) R41, TR42 and the 220 Ohm 2W resistor, it looks like it is either R193 or R183 (I cant make it out), VR10, C174, R228, R194, C173.
