They are just below the transformer on the right side about midway down.... A purple and I think it is a green wire are attached to them.... These are not like the test points in the 3600 and 6900 board radios, these are 2 small pegs sticking up from the board and the wires slip over the top of them....

yes, these are the only 2 needed to bias the driver and final.... I believe there are others for PLL and noise blanker too....

I thought you wanted the test points for adjusting the frequency not the bias.
You should find the information your after on CBTricks under radio information.
How far is it.
Twice it's length from halfway.
