Before you blame the pin diode, TWO things..
First, check the SQUELCH control position.
Second, check the receiver lightening arrestor CCT. I had mine go on the
850 that I owned in 1997, same symptoms-no RX sensitivity, and it was a
simple fix. My 850 RX went during the winter... no storms... VERY weird!
