i'd appreciate any help on where to get another or an equivalant.i've
looked through shed loads of smt code books online cant find same
code.i've tried contacting kenwood????

thankyou-

It could be a transistor as the other poster mentioned, but it could
also be a voltage regulator IC. Your best bet would be to obtain a
schematic and/or parts location diagram for your radio to help ID the

component. Then your next stop would be Digi-Key or Mouser to look for
a
replacement.

Also, try to determine what caused the part to fail before installing

the new one so it doesn't meet the same fate.

========================================
The OP did not mention the handheld radio model ,other than it is from

Kenwood. An instruction manual with circuit diagramme(s) of the
relevant radio can highly likely be found at : www.mods.dk

hi,
thanks to all responders .there are three on the same board.the model
is a th-26 handheld 2m.i've checked all the surrounding resistors and
nearby passives .i think its a power supply problem.i dont want to
power it up yet until i find out what this part doesi dont want to take
another one of these ants lol out and check it out of circuit.smt is not
my thing.i've searched for a free schematic so if anyone out there's got
the schematic that'll be great .i'll take on board what you guys have
said many thanks for taking the time.
