* The first thing that I would do is replace PIN Diodes D-1 thru D-8
.... These diodes were a very common problem " Back in the Day " You could
also measure the forward voltage drop on these diodes and see if one of
them is leaky or shorted but, I would just change them all. That is what we
do here. They are responsible for the Transmit/Receive Switching. I sure
hope that we have helped.*
