I have lifted the damaged zener, no effect.
I am going to replace the transistor with a 2N2222
per the recommendation of Tentec.
Will advise later in the week when I again have a few
minutes to work on the rig.
Thanks to all for the helpful advise and encouragement!

I am looking at the schematic 4-32 in the Op Manual.
Any suggestions as to which device(s) is(are) most
likely to have failed, please?
Check the D2 16V zener diode.
If its shorted, the relay will never close. D2 and Q2 act as overvoltage
protection, a shorted diode will cause a overvoltage protection even
when the supply voltage is in range.
If you are sure providing the right voltage, you may simply cut off the
diode. If it was faulty, the TRX will work as usually without the diode,
but overvoltage protection is disabled, so be careful with your power
supplies!
