If you ask the radio shack guy for a tube of heat sink compound and get
funny dumb, duh looks, well just look around for yourself, it's there.
good luck...

Good point. If replacing the module, pick up a tube of heat sink
grease at your local Radio Shack.

I burned out the 2-meter finals in my TM-741. You should be able to
buy a new RF module at http://www.rfparts.com/module.html If you are
handy with a soldering iron, it's not a difficult job. Just take your
time. BTW, the symptoms were very little RF power out. It was just
the driver feeding through the dead finals.

I replaced a final module in a TM732 once and upon removing the bad
module I found NO heat grease on the heat sink. It was dry as a bone.
