I have a DX-390 being sent to me for repair. It has the "classic" front
end RF
preamp transistor failure due to static discharge to the whip antenna.
Could
someone tell me the ID of this transistor and it's approximate location in
the
390. I don't have a schematic for this radio and any info would be
helpful.
I'm assuming it's a JFET and something like an MPF-102 can be used as a
replacement.

Hi Frank, there's a helpful posting at www.mods.dk.
